Yeah, I strongly suspect you're not going to get lxc-autostart to work
in a session due to what I found yesterday.  Stéphane and I are going to
have to work something out, especially if I work on some changes to how
lxcpath is parsed and managed, but that's all going to be a ways off.
IAC, I think it's broken outside of using the host global lxcpath right
now.

Mike
