XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

XDG_RUNTIME_DIR

[Mario Lang]

Hi.

Quoting etc/NEWS:

---<snip>---
*** Emacs and emacsclient now default to "$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/emacs"
as the directory for client/server sockets, if Emacs is running
under an X Window System desktop that sets the 'XDG_RUNTIME_DIR'
environment variable to indicate where session sockets should go.
---<snip>---

On my system, $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is also set for plain virtual
terminal logins.  I believe the "X Window System desktop" part of the
text above should be removed.

 To get the old, less-secure behavior, you can set the
 'EMACS_SOCKET_NAME' environment variable to an appropriate value.
