yes please add a bug report for the tigervnc-standalone-server package
in bullseye. I am in the process of preparing a point release. Every patch
should be accompanied by a corresponding bug report. So, please create one.

I think, I also found the problem. Can you copy the attached Xtigervnc-session
to the users ~/.vnc directory and check if it works then. If yes, a missing
definition of XDG_RUNTIME_DIR is the cause.

Best,

Joachim
