Summary:
KWin was quite good in ensuring that you don't need to install by
passing paths to the tests. The new way is much nicer, so code is
adjusted for the new way. Also if we require a newer ECM in future we
need to support the new way.
No guarantee that the tests don't pick something up from the system env,
that needs more testing.

Summary:
The method xRenderBlendPicture created a static XRenderPicture on
first usage. To cleanup a XRenderPicture an xcb_connection_t* is needed.
As it's static the cleanup happens on exit handler and at that time Qt
already destroyed the xcb_connection_t*. With a certain chance this will
crash.
To expose the problem a Q_ASSERT(qApp) is added in the destructor of
XRenderPicture. Using xrenderBlendPicture() will hit this assert on
application exit. This is demonstrated by the added auto test.
The actual fix to the problem is moving the static variable out of
the method and introduce a global cleanup method just like the init
method. This is now called from Workspace dtor, so before application
goes down.
