Hello Alessandro,

Consolekit doesn't handle the /run/user stuff quite well.
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR isn't being populated and the user folder not
initialized. A workaround I came up with, to make sure XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
is always populated, is to insert the following lines in
your .xsessionrc:

if [ ! -d "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR" ] && [ -d "/run/user/$(id -u)/" ]; then
    export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/$(id -u)/"
fi


If XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is populated but the folder doesn't exists, then
follow Gregory's indications.

Cheers,
Ludovic
