The main focus is app stores were we can generate some income to finance 
development, i.e. Microsoft Store and probably Google Play. Moreover, the 
focus is more on infrastructure and common issues than individual issues of 
certain apps.

Yes, to me this looks as if the libraries packaged in the AppImage load older 
libraries installed on the system because the correct versions of those 
libraries that the AppImage was built against are missing in the AppImage.

For the AppImage of Kleopatra we simply copy
.../build/install/lib64/plugins/{iconengines,kf5,pim5}
to
.../AppDir/usr/plugins/
to make sure that we don't miss anything.

I used a custom AppRun script which runs Kleopatra with strace to find out what 
files Kleopatra loads. Simply stracing the AppImage doesn't work if I remember 
correctly.

Regards,
Ingo
