You could configure Qt with this same flag (-graphicssystem raster) too, to
make it the default.
I guess you could also revert commit
ef043a4fb69f68e4a7258e84194c567f64edc51f in your local clone if that's more
convenient for you. (if you're using a PKGBUILD, that's an easy thing to
do).

Hopefully we'll restore this in rekonq in the future, ideally we'd need to
fix this weird menu issue in Qt to allow us to get this back.
