Bug Description

Hi,

I just tried to use xpra for the first time after upgrading to 18.04. Seems to have problems with the systemd structure (tested on different machines):

$ xpra start :7
Warning: cannot use the system proxy for 'start' subcommand,
 failed to connect to '/run/xpra/system':
 [Errno 2] No such file or directory

It does not start. On a server machine the log file says:

++) Using config file: "/etc/xpra/xorg.conf"
(==) Using system config directory "/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d"

On a desktop machine it says:
