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.

James, you're a bloody genius.
Thanks

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

What was the problem you solved?

I believe that the "solution" is not needed because we have already responded to the location of ICEAuthhority in these pull requests:
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdelibs/pulls/55 https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tdebase/pulls/103
There the code is ready to support all common placements of this file and test which location is currently valid. This solution is already in TDE from R14.0.7.
As far as I know, in KDE3 in OpenSUSE, some solutions have also done, although it was not universal solution.
Cheers
