I tried running it on xfce, where it showed a systray icon, but only
offered "Exit Ausweisapp2" when right-clicking on it. Left click/ double
click did nothing. After installing "kde-standard" (which pulled in a
bunch of Qt dependencies) it immediately showed a GUI window on start!
So on the one side ausweisapp2 is not complaining loudly about missing
libraries, and on the other hand some hard package deps are missing.
I'll see if I can bisect those for you.
