libICE is used for session management, and was also used in KDE3 for DCOP.

Yes, whenever session management gets implemented again in Qt... right now 
it's completely missing in Qt5 :-(

For now I think it's ok to just ignore that error handler, the complete lack 
of session management code is the bigger problem that this issue is part of.
