Of course $DISPLAY is set wrong. /etc/prodile.d/qt3.3.sh sets it 
unconditionally to 127.0.0.1:0, which also breaks 'ssh -X'. Anyone know 
*why* it's doing this?

Can it be fixed? (I assume this comes from a qt package ;-) but I don't 
know who maintains those.)

'[ -z "$DISPLAY" ] && export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0' seems to work better.
