Hi,

when trying to run this "ipe" qt app I got the error message:
$ ipe
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the
Qt platform plugin "xcb".

I found out that I need to include the libqt5gui5 package as stage
package (just like in the hello-world-desktop example, But even though
I added it to my yaml file I still get the same error message.

(I'm actually not sure if I really need the "after: [qt5conf]" part.)

So what else am I missing?
