OK, I'll try the local ebuild first.

Well, other X programs work just fine from the same ssh session, so it
can't be the environment. The program doesn't modify anything in it
either, I checked that much. But the strace I hadn't tried yet---here's
the halfway interesting bit:
| access("/usr/lib/qt3//plugins", F_OK)   = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
| access("/root/.qt", F_OK)               = 0
| lstat64("/root/.qt", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
| brk(0x868a000)                          = 0x868a000
| access("/etc/X11//qtrc", F_OK)          = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
| access("/root/.qt/qtrc", F_OK)          = 0
| [trying to read empty qtrc]
| munmap(0x40000000, 4096)                = 0
| fcntl64(3, F_SETLKW64, {type=F_UNLCK, whence=SEEK_SET, start=0, len=0}, 0xbf9dbe60) = 0
| close(3)                                = 0
| write(2, "usrmgr: cannot connect to X serv"..., 35usrmgr: cannot connect to X server ) = 35
It doesn't matter if the plugins dir ot /root/.qt/qtrc is there or not.
I can even put the old server's /etc/X11/qtrc in place, no difference.
I'll play with strace some more, looks like the program used some call
that's not traced by default because it's not even trying to read
$DISPLAY; the error seems to be something generic.

cheers!
