Not trying KDE/Qt plugins at all appears to be the simplest solution. No more
worries about extra environment variables and additional packages. That is, use
pStandardFallbackList instead of pKDEFallbackList for DESKTOP_LXQT in
vcl/source/app/salplug.cxx.

If a VCL plugin requires extra packages to work, it's better to not make it as
the default IMO. Users who want it can just specify SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN.

> Maybe, the qt5 VCL plugin might be an alternative when the "SAL_VCL_QT5_USE_CAIRO=true" environment variable is set in addition, but I can't really tell how well this works (i.e. setting "SAL_VCL_QT5_USE_CAIRO=true" and "SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt5" via the distro).

That's also an option. We (LXQt developers) can add default environment
variables  in lxqt-session. In a previous comment you said the qt5 VCL plugin
is not recommended for daily use. Is the combination SAL_VCL_QT5_USE_CAIRO=true
SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=qt5 considered stable enough for daily use?
