I have the exact same problem on my Mint 17.3 x32 XFCE machine. The above trick does work for me a well. I have QT 5.5 installed for development.

Thanks for the log. I found one problem which (for some reason) did not trigger on my Ubuntu 14.04 environment, no idea why. Could you test if this test build fixes the problem for you? Thank you!

No, the problem is not solved for the i386. But I found out that the amd64 build works well. I used for the research a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS

That was it. I thought it's a systematic bug but actually it was a problem specific to 32-bit. Will be fixed in 5.1.4.
Cannot reproduce. Please do the following as root:
and attach the resulting file log.txt to this ticket. I guess there is some pending qt.conf file.
