A misunderstanding, actually there are no new Qt issues on my machine either. An old issue is the font size. Anyway, I very often read about KDE issues, each time KDE is updated. Here all Qt apps, excepted of the font size issue are ok, as long as they are not KDE related. KDE apps tend to use some kind of gvfs equivalent, that for no valid reason wakes up sleeping external green drives again and again and the only way to get rid of it seems to be, to restart the computer after running such an app. To fix this issue for GNOME apps, just replacing the gvfs package with an empty gvfs dummy package does the trick, but I never found out how to solve this issue for KDE apps. However, I don't need to use either KDE or GNOME apps, but I need to use GTK and Qt apps. Actually the only apps I can set up to my needs are GTK2 apps with an outdated GTK theme. Since the Qt apps font size issue only affects menus and not editor windows and similar, I can live with it, but several, not all GTK3 apps are disgusting.
