Bug Description

It has long been my understanding that the system compositor should avoid use of Qt to facilitate security review of code that will be running with system privileges.

However...

    find_package(Qt5Core)
    find_package(Qt5DBus)

...and:

void usc::SystemCompositor::qt_main()
{
    int argc{0};
    QCoreApplication app(argc, nullptr);

...etc.
