That's a non-issue when discussing Qt5 since QtGui won't link to the X libs 
anyway. Only the XCB platform plugin will.

At most, QtGui will link to interesting libs like libpng.

If you don't use QApplication, no QPA platform plugin will be necessary. And 
you could even use an ASCII-Art plugin if you wanted:
