+    longDescription = ''
+      Automatically assign a dedicated systemd scope to the GUI applications
+      launched in the same cgroup as the compositor. This could be helpful for
+      implementing cgroup-based resource management and would be necessary when
+      `systemd-oomd` is in use.
+
+      Limitations: The script is using i3ipc window:new event to detect application
+      launches and would fail to detect background apps or special surfaces.
+      Therefore it's recommended to supplement the script with use of systemd user
+      services for such background apps.
