I believe this is expected behavior. Without xrender, Qt
does not 
support antialiasing and some composition modes. When no
xrender is 
detected, Qt just falls back to the Windows style. I guess
kde needs to 
do similar?

You can test this on any machine using QT_X11_NO_XRENDER=1
./myapp.

Except when the user has explicitly specified a style (in
code, with qtconfig, 
or via -style).

That's a useful hint for testing, generally, on other
developer's machines.

Since I have no clue what this thread is about or what
equipment we're talking 
about, I'll just say that SunRay is an interesting platform
for exposing 
assumptions about the X server you have available.
