Hi,
I have a user for which /run/user/${USER} directory is not
automatically created. I manually created the directory and made it
owned by the user and all was fine but after reboot it had disappeard
and I had to do it again.
Could this be related to the fact that the user uses a remote
connection via vncserver?
In short yes it could be, and it is likely to be a bug.
The directory is created by logind. There have been lots of bugs in
this area where because a user isn't ‘logging in’ in the normal sense,
the directory doesn't get created, eg:

If you can come up with an easy reproducer for the bug, I think you
should file it.
