It seems that we failed to remember one of those when picking out
default apps. Have any suggestions for something Qt-based?

No such problem here, so that's curious. What exact steps did you take
to induce this slowness?

This is simply a lack of understanding as to what it is. When you load
it, it doesn't open an application window. It adds an icon to your
system tray. If you try to run it again, it will complain. Only one
instance allowed.

You cannot take any piece of LXQt to be directly comparable to the LXDE
counterpart. There is completely different code, run by a completely
different team, with much more active development on the LXQt side. This
is part of the reason for us to switch to LXQt. I have heard no similar
complaints about PCManFM*-Qt*.
