Hm - my posting from the Qwt list hijacked without any further indication to a completely different list ??? Anyway - which paint engine is used for Qt4.8 on X11 is a matter of configuration. F.e. in my profile you find the line "export QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native". Everybody who has a use case where the X11 paint engine counts ( for Qwt it is drawing of polylines ) probably does something similar. So this is not a question of a default setting - with Qt5 an option is gone. About remote desktops: my environment for the last years was a noisy system in the basement and a really slow but silent system in the room where I'm working. I was using NX for the remote desktop. With Qt5 this combination has become hard to use: falling curtains instead of fast responses. So I had to buy a new system - fast, but without fans - to have a comfortable local desktop environment again ... > There is no QWS in Qt 5. It's replaced with QPA. But when comparing QPA/5.0 with QWS/4.8, what does it mean in terms of improvement/regression for a user today ?
