Hi Kevin
After a while: I think forcing to skip Qt LTS and going for 5.8.0 is not
practical.
Are users of KIO and alike forced to patch KF5 to remove unwanted "black
windows"?
That would look like unfortunate for developer experience of KF5 on Windows.
That's what exactly I am facing (and in fact migrating away from dbus too,
thus decreasing my use of KF5 unfortunately on Windows).

Can we have a temporary fix at ECM of KF5 level (e.g. for Qt < 5.8.0)?
