cheers! good effort

but then again, considering Roger's advice, why not having
/tmp/xdg-runtime as default?

sounds good

if you use the /tmp prefix as default then you don't even need to handle
such a deletion in the default case: it all falls back into the handling
of /tmp, simplifying much the site configuration for those not willing
to go into details, plus we avoiding unlinks in /var/run

So well, I also advice for having it in /tmp/xdg-runtime
