When a second user attempts to log out it appears to log out, but afterwards gradually the fans rise to full speed.

If the first user (never logged out just locked) logs back in and runs sudo htop you can see 60ish pids running in the name of the second user, 6ish of those are using 100% of all cores.

The pids that are hogging are xdg-desktop-portal-kde and at least one kdeconnectd, usually multiple threads of kdeconnectd.

Each of the threads that those pids are in are end with a drconqi pid that, if you kill it, the entire thread closes and that core frees up.

If all of the hogging threads are killed in that way that still leaves 50ish pids running in the name of the second user, but they use 0% CPU. I have been killing all of second users threads without noticing any repercussions.
