The comment in the existing script says: 'Wayland needs XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, so set it to /tmp. This isn't compliant with the specification (wrong mode, wrong owner) but it's mostly sufficient.' Unfortunately, this assumption doesn't hold, because some system components will, correctly, ignore the directory if the owner and permissions are not correct, while others will not, and things break. For example, GIO DBus code falls into the former category, while dconf into the latter, and consequently GSettings with a dconf backend don't work. Either this directory needs to be set up correctly, or the variable should not be set at all. 99810 1 ross.burton 2024-10-10 12:02:09 +0000 The spec is at https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/.
