Bug Description

Placing the scope endpoints under /tmp is not a great idea from a security standpoint. On both the desktop and phone, a special per-user directory is provided for runtime files like this at $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR.

This would be a better location to store the socket files, since the permissions are locked down and it is on a tmpfs, so cleared on boot.
