Applications may use XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for their own purposes.  I believe
gpg-agent might use it to place its sockets.  This does not mean
that Spectrum-provided sockets need to be in this directory, though.
I would set it to the standard /run/user/$UID where $UID is the user
ID of the application.

If compatibility is a problem, bind mounts are an option.
