Mir's default is already $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mir_socket. (Also, it's
correct that /run/mir_socket is not for apps - it's only for unity8 to
connect to u-s-c as a guest (nested) compositor. )
However, $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR cannot be used for the u-s-c, as it'd be
against the XDG spec to have rw
Mir's default socket is $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR for reasons explained in LP
#1236912. Mirscreencast reads the framebuffer contents from U-S-C, and
currently U-S-C is hard-coded to override the default socket location
with '/run/mir_socket'.

iirc the move was a security team requirement, i assume the default
socket should actually be moved to $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and yes, then the
lightdm startup should drop teh arg.

There are different sockets. Bug #1236912 was about the sockets apps in
the user's session are supposed to be able to access, ie
$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/mir_socket. /run/mir_socket is AIUI different and not
supposed to be accessed by apps.
