On Debian 10 Buster, both fvwm and xfce.

Odd, root can not access the /run/user/601/ directory, but the user
can:

    ls -al /run/user/601/ | egrep doc/
        dr-x------  2 theuser users   0 Dec 31  1969 doc/


    su
    ls -al /run/user/601/ | egrep doc/
        /bin/ls: cannot access '/run/user/601/doc': Permission denied
            d?????????  ? ?    ?       ?            ? doc/
    exit
    

    ls -al /run/user/601/ | egrep doc/
        dr-x------  2 theuser users   0 Dec 31  1969 doc/

which accounts for the failure of updatedb(1), (running out of cron
with UID 0.) Might effect find(1), too.

Odd timestamp on /run/user/601/doc, with "Permission denied" to ls -al
/run/user/601 as root.
