I don't know whether I misunderstood the idea behind LSB, but even RHEL and 
SLES (forgot the exact versions, they were relatively old), which claimed they 
would comply to the same LSB version, were not binary compatible. The STL 
differed, some function from std::string was inlined on the one system and 
called some internal STL function, which did not exist on the other system.
Should that have worked ?

What plugins does e.g. WebKit try to load ?
I guess for QtGUI it is e.g. the current widget style plugin, and maybe the 
file dialog ?
I guess there is a way to disable this integration ?
And how is this actually handled with a static Qt build ? No plugins at all ?
