Bug Description

There is a pesky bug when using xfce 4.12 under xubuntu, where Qt applications do not pick up on the Gtk or icon themes that the rest of the system uses. It was pointed out on xfce's bugzilla that it is simply due to a compilation flag, and the problem can easily be remedied by not utilizing the troublesome flag. see more here: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12012

Is this change still needed?

The Xubuntu session installs these two files nowadays:

https://git.launchpad.net/xubuntu-default-settings/tree/etc/X11/Xsession.d/56xubuntu-session
https://git.launchpad.net/xubuntu-default-settings/tree/etc/skel/.config/Trolltech.conf

Keep in mind that QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME=gtk2 requires the installation of the "qt5-style-plugins" package -> bug 1728236.
