well, I am aware of the problem now, but maybe it would be a good idea
in general? I can't believe I'm the only user of that feature.

More generally speaking, I suspect the feature of using QApplication
without an X-server had to be dropped for some fundamental reasons?

Git history just shows it being deprecated "to match Qt 5 reality"
(9d173c9218), and then removed with the "type" functionality of
QCoreApplication (553e216).

I thought it was a rather useful feature, it would be nice to at least
understand why it had to go.
