  The only thing you are missing is the fact that rygel runs as a
session service and not system service by default[1]. Unfortunately,
currently[2] there is no way to get session services started at boot
so the user must login to the desktop. You still need to enable rygel
from the UI (rygel-preferences) but only once.

[1] It could be started as root (or any other user) on startup as well
but you'll have to manually put it in some start-up script.
[2] Hopefully Lennart's efforts on user-bus and automatic startup of
user services will bring some fruits by F16.
