Multiple separate X11 screens setup (Zaphod, no Xinerama) fails #913

My setup:
2 graphic "card"s with 1+3=4 monitors
= four separate X11 screens
( c.f. xorg.conf.d -> Attachment ).

Layout "Single":
works like a charm.

Layout "Four":
Only on the fist screen a rudimentary desktop appears,
ending in a message like "failed too often".
The other three remain black.
In principle, all four X11 screens get addressed;
at least the "X" sign mouse cursor flows over the rest of the four.

Cross-Check:
Plain X works with (c)twm, as well as fluxbox, xfce, ... on all four screens.

Question:
Perhaps this may be due to lxqt-session depending upon qtdbus,
thus inheriting dbus' limiting factor being head agnostic ?
(BTW: KDE suffers the same root cause.)

Just tried to test against current git sources from qt overlay ( "layman -a qt" )
( referring to git://anongit.gentoo.org/proj/qt.git ) ;
unfortunately, packages fail during 'configure' phase already.
