In one post you're claiming X doesn't use unix sockets, now you're an
expert on what the permissions should be.

Which is a world-writable directory. You see the problem?

Its not a problem , its part of the design.

The Wayland socket goes in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR, which is a variable under the
control of the user. It usually points to /run/user/«userid». Which
belongs to that specific user.

Very useful if a process running under another user id wants to connect.
