           Summary: "su -l <user>" does not set $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for the
                    new <user>
    Classification: openSUSE
           Product: openSUSE 12.1
           Version: Final
          Platform: i586
        OS/Version: openSUSE 12.1

If I login to another <user> with "su -l <user>", $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is not set
for that <user> but keeps set as for the calling user. 
As a result, 'dconf' doesn't work since 'dconf' relies on  $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/
beeing there and accessable for writing. 
I found a "work-around": 
insert in "/etc/pam.d/su-l"
the entry: "session  required       pam_loginuid.so"
before:    "session  include        common-session"
Now /run/user/<user>/ is made and $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is set properly.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -> e.g.: /run/user/lueckel
2. su -l guest
3. echo $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR -> also: /run/user/lueckel
Actual Results:  
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR points to the "old" location: /run/user/lueckel
and there is no directory /run/user/guest/

Expected Results:  
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR should point to /run/user/guest/
and a directory /run/user/guest/ should be made
