Version: 1.1.6-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
Dear Maintainer,
Trying to start the QT interface for backintime-qt4 using:
$ gksu backintime-qt4
results in a blank grey window appearing, along with the output:

(using gksudo leads to the same behaviour but without the above Error messages
in the output.) This appears to be a common problem for some qt4 programs, and
is fixed by running instead:
$ gksu QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 backintime-qt4
in which case the program runs as normal. This problem has only recently
started to affect my system, no idea why. Googling QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 shows
that this affects a lot of QT apps that need gksu/gksudo.
