The "native" graphics engine uses regular X11, which will probably
always be best over SSH.
Qt also respects the QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM environment variable to
configure this, so you can add `export QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native` to
your ~/.profile or wherever to make it your "default".
Ok, so I have a work-around, but the default behavior is unacceptable,
there should be some kind of fallback to native when on a remote display,
maybe by automatically measuring the speed of bitmap transfers.
This _should_ be fixed upstream.
Is there an open bug on this already?
