Well, I have an unstable snapshot working with Qt5, but I am not really convinced
to submit it to factory yet.

It needs unstable snapshots of other stacks and can not even use current versions 
there.

But the bigger problem is a memory corruption somehwere in python/pyside2/glibc.
This requires a quite brutal workaround which basically disables all UTF8.

This really needs to be debugged before. (I have a valgrind enabled build of
python somewhere in OBS, otherwise you will get mad).

And don't think it is the graphic driver as I thought first since it is crashing
there. It happens with all drivers ;)
