Yours, http://www.x.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/RELNOTES5.html#40 As I understand it, if you aren't using compositing, there should be no downside to setting it. If you are, then setting it can interfere with image compositing (but you can decide to set that env var per application). I don't have any information how this interacts with qt (or will in the future). Perhaps someone on the kde list can speak to that.
