I have no experience with GNUstep, but I recall X applications 
depending on dbus will start an user instance if there's no system

casperd uses local sockets and are thus confined to its jail. Do the 
sandboxes in each jail need the casperd services, e.g. the DNS 
service? Well, yes, if the sandboxes i.e. can't send UDP datagrams.
