Apart from what you mentioned, the only thing I notice is that with  
some trees in gist, some horizontal and vertical lines are drawn  
around some nodes. This is randomly or at least I could not identify a  
more deterministic pattern, probably it has something related to qt  
and not to gecode.

Everything else seems to work fine, at least for me. I don't use the  
binary installer, tough.
