Where are we standing on this now? Chromecast was fixed, and YouTube was
fixed even more (this time still ahead of the curve for now). Remaining
matters would be the RIST modules that we can decide to backport or not,
the adaptive resolution fixes I just submitted, and the Qt/X11 issue -
#21875 if I follow.

About that Qt/X11 issue, is it really a regression from earlier stable
versions? How, what changed? I can't see anything in the Qt GUI commit
log.

Let's not go back on the GL driver part of the issue. Do we have an
actionable plan to figure out the Qt part and fix it? If not, do we
still want to hold off the 3.0.12 release for it?

Any other pending matters to resolve?
