Hi Danny,

(forwarding to guix-devel to eventually get more opinions on this)

I would be fine with this, since I find myself adding this snippet quite
often when building Qt/KDE applications. But there *might* be cases,
where tests fail due to this setting. (While I'm not aware of one, I
could imaging some test checks whether it is actually painting.)

Thus I propose implementing this in some way to easily disable it if
required: Either

- by adding this a new phase (as in the snippet shown above), so it can
easily be disabled

- by adding another keyword-argument (proposal: `#:qpa-platform`,
default: "offscreen", if +f, will not be set.

WDYT?
