4.0.0 and 4.0.2+18 both work with 6.10.2, except that they fail to find
the authentication provider.  I suspect the authentication provider
problem is about some qt6 part not being in pkgsrc yet.

4.0.2+18/6.10.2 will open a project file and act normally while
4.0.2+18/6.11.0 crashes on the same file.

Starting without a project file is ok.

Other complicated qt6-using programs work with 6.11.0 (on
NetBSD-current), according to others.

I see from Andrea that osgeo4w has 4.0.2 with Qt 6.11.0, but I wonder

  does it work :-) ?

  surely that uses some different implementations than on POSIX, so
  while it's a very helpful data point, I'm not sure what I can
  conclude.

I should mention that I'm using X11 (which I've been using since I
upgraded from X10!), given the "wayland is the answer, what was the
question" problems in some corners of the GNU/Linux world.

Has anyone run qgis 4 with 6.11.x on POSIX with X11?

Overnight, pkgsrc got qt6 6.11.1, changelog "bugfixes".  I am updating
and will rebuild all and see how it goes.  If still not ok, I'll flip to
debug builds and build qt6 and qgis again, so gdb can get better
backtraces, and file an issue.
