Nope, absolutely nothing in the logs.

Someone else suggested running xautolock from my .xsessionrc script so
that it is always run after X is running, and that seems to work.  I
wanted to run this via systemd because that's easier to restart after
making tweaks than something run as part of a startup script, but I have
not been able to find any mechanism to delay starting a /user/ service
until the graphical login is ready.
