Without xrender support QT's look and feel doesn't come nice. However,
with xrender compiled it gives nice look and feel (with fonts and
text). I think it should be there. I have compiled xrender on sparc it
is working very much well.

Thanks Shai,

Committed... but...
we have a problem in dolphin (dolphin/src/ktooltip.cpp) and plasma
(plasma/plasma/plasmaapp.cpp) because both of those unconditionally
assume XRender for any system with X11.

We need the authors of the relevant code to provide #if (HAVE_XRENDER)
conditional compiles to handle the situation where the XRender stuff
isn't available.

Apparently this is also a runtime problem. I've seen the Oxygen style and
Plasma look funny on a SUNray box, where apparently XRender is not available
but (tried to be) used, resulting in LSD-like coloring of lots of widgets.
Not that it doesn't look cool, but it does not a match with the artistic
vision either. :-)
