I'm afraid I'm no Qt expert so will have to defer to others on this issue.

Could you post this change to osg-submissions so I can review it.

There isn't a preferred choice, it should work across a wide range of
distributions.  Good support for any particular distro is really down
to the community to ensure that it works as it's not practical for
engineers like myself to manage dozens of different OS variants. Even
if you use the same OS variant there are still variables such as
optional dependencies like Qt and FLTK that can be thrown into the mix
that make your particular build system unique.  The upshot of this is
that to see good support of your chosen build combination then you
need to be prepared to step forward and help ensure that the wrinkles
are all smoothed out.

The alternative to need members of community be proactive would be to
restrict the list of supported OS variants to ones that I can support,
which right now would be... Kubuntu 9.04, while this is fine OS
variant for dev work, it won't be a perfect fit for everyone.  I see
this as the beauty of open source - you aren't restricted to arbitrary
choices that I or other core developers make - you have the ability to
tune the software to work well on your own platform of choice ;-)

Robert.
