This is my thinking too - the OS seems to be missing libxcb QT plugins.
You can get better debug info from QT by setting the QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS
variable ("export QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS=1" for bash or zsh, "setenv
QT_DEBUG_PLUGINS 1" for tcsh). Then when you launch the application
you should get a much more informative message. Perhaps too
informative.
Usually the error in this case is a missing xcb library or two,
something like libxcb-icccm.so.4 No such file or directory. You
should be able to add these with your package manager.
Best,
Jason
