--- Comment #2 from Oliver Freyermuth <o.freyerm...@googlemail.com> ---
Thanks for checking! 

I delved into this and can explain why KUbuntu does not appear to be affected:
They did not fetch the new patch release 5.27.11.1 of plasma-workspace
completely, but only backported parts of it. 
Hence, they do not carry
https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4382 in full. 

For that reason, Ubuntu does not use a pattern such as:
/run/user/1000/iceauth_someRandomString
for their ICE auth files, but just the default:
/run/user/1000/ICEauthority
Hence, it works without the variable being defined due to the fallback to the
"default name". 
Note that the MR I linked above also added the corresponding code to ksmserver
to set that variable, which explains why Ubuntu misses that, as they did not
pull in the full MR / did not pull 5.27.11.1 completely. 

So it appears that to reproduce that, 5.27.11.1 must be used, while 5.27.11 is
not affected. 
Sadly, Plasma itself did not report the ".1" version and the bug tracker does
not allow to select it, so I did not include this critical detail in my report. 

Do you have the chance to re-test with 5.27.11.1?
