Unset, please, if you go this route. Unlike HOME, general-purpose
software (that doesn't specifically depend on systemd-logind or the
older pam_xdg) is expected to cope with XDG_RUNTIME_DIR not being set,
as would happen on older or more minimal systems.
Unsetting an optional variable seems more reasonable than setting it to
a nonsensical value, which would break software that takes the approach
of "the user is always right".
