It seems the problem only affects QT programs, after some googling I
have found 2 workarounds[1], it seems either of the following
environment variables needs to be set:

QT_GRAPHICSSYSTEM=native
QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1

For now I'll use the first one as it seems to be less "bad". Hope this
helps someone else.
