This fixes a bug[1] with some generated autostart app services which fork and exit immediately after main application process start, that caused them not to launch during session startup, as the entire cgroup was immediately killed by systemd. This can also happen with apps such as file browsers, whose initial process will exit after the window is closed, but who intend to leave a daemon child running. Since the forking model of a .desktop application cannot be known at service generation time otherwise, ExitType=cgroup is the only effective way to fix this bug.
