Bug Description

Apr 13 10:23:57 ottawa systemd[4959]: [/usr/lib/systemd/user/xscreensaver.service:5] Executable path is not absolute, ignoring: xscreensaver
Apr 13 10:23:57 ottawa systemd[4959]: xscreensaver.service: Service lacks both ExecStart= and ExecStop= setting. Refusing.
Apr 13 10:23:57 ottawa systemd[4959]: Reloading.

$ cat /usr/lib/systemd/user/xscreensaver.service
[Unit]
Description=XScreenSaver

[Service]
ExecStart=xscreensaver

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target

Instead the full path should be used in ExecStart, e.g.

/usr/bin/xscreensaver
