9th major difference: there are signs that the directory
/usr/share/locale-langpack does not exist:

+access("/usr/share/locale-langpack", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)


also, one of the systems appears to have been set to plastik style,
the other to keramik

at that point the differences becomes significant (line 2603) because
the styles do radically different things.  one is looking for
/etc/tqt3/qtrc and finds it, the other doesn't look for it.
