One thing I completely forgot but was bitten by while going through the build
process for X2Go Client is the browser plugin. It looks like development of
qtbrowserplugin stopped in 2009 and the code has been dropped with Qt5.

Qt5webkit will not help us any and there seems to be no direct replacement.

In the end, it probably boils down to x2goplugin dying once Qt4 is removed.

In the meantime, while Qt4 and Qt5 are both available in the repositories, it
would probably be possible to build x2goclient against Qt5 and x2goplugin
against Qt4. Does that make sense, though?
