I am trying to use the awesome Guix Home Shepherd service for syncthing (home-syncthing-service-type).
 
Syncthing works fine but every time I log out of my last user session and log back in again, a new instance of the user shepherd is started (and tries to start syncthing again).
After logging out and in a few times, there are multiple user shepherd processes.
 
Suspected cause:  Apparently the user shepherd process is not killed on last logout before elogind (correctly) removes XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.
So on next login, a new empty XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is created, causing a new user shepherd to be started while the old one is still running happily.
This seems to be a general issue and not particular to the syncthing home service.
