           Summary: XAUTHORITY env variable changes in the middle of the
                    night
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: 5.5.5
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal

I'm experiencing exactly this bug, described by "jbaum".
Except, that I'm having this bug on openSUSE 42.1 and jbaum seems to have it on
Arch Linux.

| So after about 24 hours, I start being unable to open graphical applications.
| 
| Running something from console, I get this:
| $ xterm
| No protocol specified
| xterm: Xt error: Can't open display: :0.0
| $ ls $XAUTHORITY
| ls: cannot access /tmp/xauth-1000-_0: No such file or directory
| adam@t420a:~$ XAUTHORITY=~/.Xauthority xterm
| [launches successfully]

A question which may help to find out what's going on:
How can an environment variable be re-set to a different value, globally in all
KDE applications (e.g. a konsole and krunner), >>>while those applications are
already running<<< ?

Reproducible: Sometimes
