--- Comment #3 from Darxus <darxus at chaosreigns.com> ---
<pq> Darxus, XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is defined to be per-user, and private. If you set
it in /etc/environment, it will be a permanent, system wide setting for all
users.
<pq> using chmod as in the guide will probably avoid some security leaks, but
it also breaks it for every other user on the system
<pq> ... http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html
defines XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, and what properties it must have.

Added a statement about these concerns to the build instructions (
http://wayland.freedesktop.org/building.html ), and linked to this bug.
