Just for the record: Sometimes the truth is not that digital. It appears to be that there is a relation with an upstream change that affects anything except Systemd. krunner starts applications with cwd "/" with init system other than systemd (openrc, runit, ...) https://bugs.kde.org/432975 Plasma appears to use different code paths for systemd and non systemd startup: https://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/plasma-and-the-systemd-startup/ Will be looking with upstream and/or Debian's other init team whether a solution can be found or… apply a work-around.
