proposed fix

It may happen that the home directory of the user does not contain the runtime directory yet, when it's a freshly-created home for instance. In that case, establishing the p2p socket in spi_atk_create_socket will fail since it only tries to create a socket in that directory without checking that the directory exists.

The proposed patch fixes this by making spi_atk_create_socket create the runtime directory if it doesn't exist yet.

See bug 763344 for a better fix.  Comments welcome.
Comment 3 Allison Karlitskaya (desrt) 2016-03-09 15:44:25 UTC 
Okay.  We committed that fix, so it should be safe to revert this commit once you depend on a new enough GLib version.
