+---
+
+On systemd/ConsoleKit systems this variable is set when the user logs in, if
+neither is used and you need `XDG_RUNTIME_DIR` for some reason (eg Flatpak), it
+can be easily set adding some lines to your `.bash_profile`:
+
+```bash
+if test -z "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
+    export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/tmp/${UID}-runtime-dir
+    if ! test -d "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"; then
+        mkdir "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
+        chmod 0700 "${XDG_RUNTIME_DIR}"
+    fi
+fi
+```
