For this to work, you need something to call "lxc-autostart" at session
open time. For privileged containers we have an init script doing that,
but for unprivileged users, there's no single way of doing it and it's
hard to know exactly what the user would want to see happen (have all
user containers started at boot time and exit at shutdown time or have
that happen at user session open time but then what about ssh sessions,
...).
