The upstream issue¹ refers to GNOME applications in RHEL 7 being 
affected. RHEL 7 would have a KDE without Systemd startup I bet².

[2] https://blog.davidedmundson.co.uk/blog/plasma-and-the-systemd-startup/ (however I am not entirely sure whether that kind of startup is 
activated by default nowadays)

Fair enough.

I added that information and suggestion to the KDE bug report:

krunner starts applications with cwd "/" with init system other than 
systemd (openrc, runit, ...)
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=432975#c16

Let's see whether KDE developers are open to make the required changes.
