And for reference, the bug that cause this fix to be made is here:
https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-21486

I realize that you can build the X11 platform plugin after you've built 
Qt and if you do this, you'll be able to run GUI apps again but the 
extra steps required for this won't be obvious to the average user who 
doesn't have the xcb dependencies installed.
