I'm OK with a solution that is Qt5-only, IOW, we don't have to care about 
Qt4 with new features anymore (Qt4 will go away anyway).

At first I thought that I would be OK with calling this an X11-specific 
problem, but then there's also Wayland and this will very likely behave 
exactly the same in there. I don't care that much about Windows and OS X 
given that they don't have native VDs (or do they?).

Unconditionally linking with any KF5 piece is still a no-go, sure.

Sounds good.

They aren't important, so this one sounds good as well. If you can control 
these pop-ups, this sounds like an easier solution (but I don't think one 
can control them).

We don't even need the log, IMHO.
