hand mouse button click popup on the desktop, that konsole has
"XAUTHORITY=/tmp/xauth-1002-_0" and suffers no delays. Opening konsole from the
main "F" start menu has "XAUTHORITY=/var/run/sddm/xauth_nsAoIs" and so
has delays.

Further point, downgrading sddm to 0.18.1-8.fc33 fixes the issue, so definitely something
todo with changes in sddm. But is sddm now correct and some of my older config wrong ?
Also, FWIW, on an F32 system....
R-click start XAUTHORITY=/home/egreshko/.Xauthority
Menu start XAUTHORITY=/tmp/xauth-1026-_0
[egreshko@f32k ~]$ cmp -b /home/egreshko/.Xauthority /tmp/xauth-1026-_0
[egreshko@f32k ~]$
[egreshko@f32k ~]$ rpm -q sddm
sddm-0.18.1-4.fc32.x86_64
And on the F33 system...
[egreshko@meimei ~]$ cmp -b /tmp/xauth-1026-_0 /var/run/sddm/xauth_umbOSp
[egreshko@meimei ~]$
