I have added the `elogind` service.  Here is the services section of my
systems configuration:

```
 (services
  (append
   (list
    (service elogind-service-type)
    (service accountsservice-service-type)
    (service inputattach-service-type)
    x11-socket-directory-service
    polkit-wheel-service)
   %base-services))
```

When I run `sudo herd status` the output shows that `elogind` is
started.

When I run `sway` on virtual terminal 1 sway does not start and I get
this output: 

```
localhost dbus-daemon[380]: [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules; 
type="method_call", sender=":1.24" (uid=1000 pid=26112 comm="sway ")

[backend/backend.c:303] Failed to open any DRM device

```

When I run `sudo sway` it outputs "XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set in the
environment. Aborting.".
