I use _with_parents() in case the geany directory already exists. I could also use mkdir() and handle EEXIST but this seemed more convenient.

For the runtime directory, I assume it already exists, since it's provided by the spec. If that's not the case I think we cuoldn't create it since users generally don't have sufficient permissions for /var/run/user.

I also considered that the 0700 requirement applies to the $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR itself. A quick survey on my system shows that the subdirectories are inconsistent, but the systemd subdirectory (and systemd manages $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR) has 0755. I guess it doesn't matter much. Can change to 0700 if you want.
