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
```
