Please, do reassign this to systemd. Thank you. This certainly is the module to perform the needed actions.
It still seems though, that the problem is with interfacing with "su", since the variable is properly set for the user to originally log in into the system (different use of PAM modules than when logging through GDM or SSH, maybe?).
Scripting with "su -c" is also affected - checked it.
Also, as previously mentioned (comment #12), the needed directory is actually created but the variable $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set appropriately to point to it (it keeps pointing to where it did for the "su"-ing user, which is then unreadable for the logged-in-with-"su" user - hence the original reporter's problem with launching gedit which is a side-effect of it), it has to be set manually to make everything work properly again.
