[SOLVED] Cant change XDG Base Directories

I tried cleaning my home folder, so i configured some of my programms to go into the XDG Base Directories, but on many of them, it doesnt seem to have an effect.
For example, I still got the .Xauthority and .lesshst file in my home folder although i changed it.

Here`s my .zprofile:

#
# ~/.zprofile
#

if [[ "$(tty)" = "/dev/tty1" ]]; then
	pgrep dwm || startx
fi

# =================================================================================================
# Exports
# =================================================================================================
export TERM="xterm-256color"
export EDITOR="nvim"
export VISUAL="nvim"
export BROWSER="brave"
export MANPAGER="sh -c 'col -bx | bat -l man -p'"

# Sauber machen
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.config"
export XDG_DATA_HOME="$HOME/.local/share"
export XDG_CACHE_HOME="$HOME/.cache"
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run"

export XAUTHORITY="$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/Xauthority"
export GTK2_RC_FILES="$HOME/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkrc-2.0"
export LESSHISTFILE="$XDG_CACHE_HOME/less/history"
export GNUPGHOME="$XDG_DATA_HOME/gnupg"
export CARGO_HOME="$XDG_DATA_HOME/cargo"
export RUSTUP_HOME="$XDG_DATA_HOME/rustup"
export _JAVA_OPTIONS=-Djava.util.prefs.userRoot="$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/java"
export NPM_CONFIG_USERCONFIG=$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/npm/npmrc

Try putting the exports before the startx command .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
Try clean chroot manager by graysky
