Does not work. I tried with DBUS activation and a konsole started from 
krunner still was in "/".

% grep -B 1 Exec= /usr/share/kglobalaccel/org.kde.krunner.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.kde.krunner /App 
org.kde.krunner.App.display
--
[Desktop Action RunClipboard]
Exec=dbus-send --type=method_call --dest=org.kde.krunner /App 
org.kde.krunner.App.displayWithClipboardContents

Then I tried:

% grep -B 1 Exec= /usr/share/kglobalaccel/org.kde.krunner.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Exec=sh -c "touch /tmp/krunner-desktop; cd /home/USER; /usr/bin/krunner"
--
[Desktop Action RunClipboard]
Exec=sh -c "touch /tmp/krunner-clip; cd /home/USER; /usr/bin/krunner -c"

However konsole started from krunner is still in "/" and I get:

%  LANG=en ls /tmp/krunner*
ls: cannot access '/tmp/krunner*': No such file or directory

So the Exec= line in the desktop file appears to be ignored by whatever 
starts krunner.

I wonder whether I just restart krunner from my .zshrc or something like 
that or from a file in ~/.config/plasma-workspace/env in case that still 
works.

Thanks,
