But libqt should also be fixed so that the following work:
- -XFree86-3.x (some cards still only have OpenGL with 3.x)
- -VNC (which is apparently a hacked version of 3.x)
- -3rd-party X Servers
- -XServers on other OSs (apparently Exceed on Windows is affected,
possibly more)

See bug 3081. I adjusted the summary so it reflects all the problems ...
