When running "guix home container test-config.scm" (attached) the 
following warning appears on screen:

warning: XDG_RUNTIME_DIR doesn't exists, on-first-login script
won't execute anything.  You can check if xdg runtime directory exists,
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR variable is set to appropriate value and manually execute the
script by running '$HOME/.guix-home/on-first-login'

I don't know if on-first-login does anything useful when run in the 
container, but the warning looks scary.

A lot of users don't hit it because they run shepherd which creates 
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR in the process of creating a command socket.

I think that "guix home container" should create XDG_RUNTIME_DIR by 
itself, since there is no logind in the container.

This warning was discussed before in https://issues.guix.gnu.org/56758.

There was also this IRC discussion 
https://logs.guix.gnu.org/guix/2023-12-27.log#083824 that prompted me to 
file this bugreport.

my issue and this one may have the same root cause. my suspicion is that in=
 both contexts some kind of integration is not triggering elogind (?) to cr=
eate that directory.

my issue: i switched from openssh to dropbear (after their latest blunder),=
 and after that i started to see this warning when i log into my servers th=
rough ssh (i.e. no local login from their consoles, only through ssh).

my root symptom was that emacs-tramp stopped working right after the switch=
.

apparently, it was due to a missing newline at the end of this warning that=
 derailed tramp's prompt detection (fixed by https://git.savannah.gnu.org/c=
git/guix.git/commit/?id=3Dcbf46d2565112180fe7b316b2530293ed2d3acf3).

err, i should have paid more attention.

maybe my issue is not that closely related to this one.
