      Qt apps get warnings on windows application certification kit because of a misuse of 'SetProcessDPIAware'.

      http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms633543(v=vs.85).aspx

      "
      Note SetProcessDPIAware is subject to a possible race condition if a DLL caches dpi settings during initialization. For this reason, it is recommended that dpi-aware be set through the application (.exe) manifest rather than by calling SetProcessDPIAware.
