It is not realistic to expect Electrum to be used as a watchtower
in GUI mode, and possibly counter-productive (may set wrong
expectations).
A proper watchtower should be configured as a daemon. The
documentation will be updated to reflect this change.
Ubuntu 20.04 needs `libxcb-xinerama.so.0`
and Debian 10 needs `libxcb-util.so.1` for the Qt `xcb` plugin.

Yes, it did work in 4.2.3 which used PyQt5 5.13.2. I just had a look at the xcb plugin and it definitely has less dependencies:
```

compared to PyQt5 5.15.2 in 4.2.4:

(well, not everything, only files in electrum/ (so e.g. not contrib))
See comment in setup.py.
E.g. we have been including the www/ folder in the tar.gz but have not been installing it
to site-packages. Now we do.
Or we have been including the kivy GUI files in the tar.gz but not installing them.
Now we do.
I like this because it simplifies setup.py and should be easier to reason about too.
should fix#7089 (at least when using the tar.gz)
The `git clean --dry-run` became redundant with "fresh clone" builds.
The new exclude in MANIFEST.in should not affect production builds (also due to fresh clone),
but they are nice when building from dirty local dir.
Note that this will not fix the value for already existing channels
that have been created with onchain backup; one would need a wallet_db
upgrade in order to fix them (probably not worth the effort).
The test framework did not like the "Test" prefix.
