Qt5 or Qt6 should only change whether you get the message

The ugly decorations should happen with both versions and are Qt's own 
client side decorations, a thing called "bradient". It is never 
mentioned in documentation, that's its name in the code. I must admit, 
it looks poor, and it lacks shadows on gnome because mutter (GNOME) 
leaves shadow creation (as everything else) to the application.

I think Qt devs created this to be a barebone client side decorations, 
and assumed the window manager would replace it with it's own. 
Surprising, considering mutter doesn't do this and it's one of the most 
used compositor/wm.

I've had this problem for some time, and I believe I've asked about this 
on the list. So far it seems up to the Qt devs.
