What has got installed seems to prevent me to start a server from an
Emacs started with gksu unless I change server-socket-dir in .emacs of
that user:

  signal(file-error ("Creating directory" "Permission denied"
   "/run/user/1000/emacs"))
  files--ensure-directory("/run/user/1000/emacs")
  make-directory("/run/user/1000/emacs" t)
  server-ensure-safe-dir("/run/user/1000/emacs")
  server-start(nil inhibit-prompt)

Internet searching seems to indicate that XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not always
set by such tools.  Is XDG_RUNTIME_DIR really a good choice?


Thanks,
