gksu and server

Hi,

I used to start a graphical Emacs for other user (Debian here btw) from
a running X session with gksu, an su frontend.  Since some days,
starting the Emacs server from such an Emacs instance fails with

  signal(file-error ("Creating directory" "Permission denied" 
"/run/user/1000/emacs"))
  files--ensure-directory("/run/user/1000/emacs")
  make-directory("/run/user/1000/emacs" t)
  server-ensure-safe-dir("/run/user/1000/emacs")
  server-start(nil inhibit-prompt)

User 1000 is the one owning the X session - i.e. the wrong one.

I dunno what makes the difference.  Does anyone know why this could be
happening?


Thanks,

Michael
