I was wondering about this: wouldn't it make more sense to set XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in /etc/profile.d for all UI?

It would feel less hacky, more consistent between UI and would be a better experience for ssh: suddenly swaymsg kill from ssh closes a window out of the box and epiphany actually launches the browser without extra work.

IMO no, this var should be set by login manager for UIs that require it (only a hard requirement for wayland UIs AFAIK)

By Alexey Min on 2020-04-06T15:21:27

I agree that it is indeed less correct, even if potentially more convenient.

There seem to be a better way, though: using PAM. After installing elogind, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set with the current postmarketos-ui-i3 on qemu.

I'll reopen another merge request for cleanness.
