The default is Qt's choice, not KDE's. And with "native" KDevelop is simply
unusable. As "opengl" only works well with accelerated graphics, "raster" is
the only good choice. And as I said so far all of us using that engine have
no problems with Qt4.5.2 and later, so this is a new bug you should report
to the Qt developers.

Except if the default makes the app in question unusable. We want to
provide a nice experience from the start, without the User having to dig up
some obscure cmdline option.
