Exactly. I read it in the Qt Labs blog - that's why I'm so dissatisfied:

Further I'm deploying my apps at work as _static_ binaries under Linux -
these are high performance industrial grade apps, where I have to
ensure extremely short response times - long startup times aren't
an option anyway. 

Between: The last 10 years I used Qt for private/opensource and 
commercial projects, I got some serious problems deploying shared
libs under Linux - while static apps were much easier to maintain
and much more stable.

Just imagine which problems you get when using own compiles Qt
versions with self made patches and just forget to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH -
very nice :-)

ciao,
Chris
