Any hints here?  There does not seem to be a manual page for qtconfig. 
Passing "--help" on the command line seems to be ignored.  Argc and argv 
seem to be passed to app(), but finding how they're processed could take 
weeks. :-)  I tried "qtconfig-qt4 --font=fixed", but that didn't help.

I could do that, if I could figure out what fonts it's trying to use and 
where to get them.  Any clues there?

The machine that is running qtconfig doesn't have any fonts installed 
(because it's basically a headless system), so running xfs was 
non-productive.  Does Qt need local fonts, or does it work like normal 
X11 apps and just use the ones on the X server?
