I should also add that the fix seems to be much more stable if I include a
helpful proposed solution from earlier, which is to also include export
ICEAUTHORITY="$HOME/.xdgr/.ICEauthority" in .profile.
So in total, I have:
export ICEAUTHORITY="$HOME/.xdgr/.ICEauthority"
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=~/.xdgr
in ~/.profile

I have figured out what to do to resolve the
ICEauthority issue.
First make a directory called .xdgr in the home directory and give the
owner read, write and execute permissions. None to any other user.
in console
cd ~
mkdir .xdgr
chmod 0700 .xdgr
Second, tell the system that you want the XDG_RUNTIME_DIRECTORY to be in
that folder.
Add the following to /home/username/.profile
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=~/.xdgr
My system is now back to normal and my applications are running great.
It took a long time to get there though.
