Description

I have to kill keybase-redirector to access tools such as `nautilus`, `df` or even upload a document from firefox

I'm using fedora 38, with sway.

I launch keybase with `exec run_keybase -g` in my sway config

keybase version 6.2.3-20231016183016+06cb935ee3

Strange thing is, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, I don't really know the differences, I shutdown my laptop every night.

I think when it works, the process keybase-redirector is owned by my user, and when it is broken, it is owned by root

Research direction

No source file or test is identified in the report. Start by reproducing the hang with `exec run_keybase -g` under sway, comparing `keybase-redirector` ownership when `nautilus`, `df`, or Firefox access fails; done means the cause is reproducible and filesystem access works without killing the process.
