Got it, thanks. This looks really odd: with both MacOSX and QT4Agg
backends, kpsewhich finds some TeX-related files, but with QT4Agg some
files are not found. It doesn't look like a simple matter of wrong paths
or anything like that, because then it would not find any files.

We have had multiple problems related to Qt and subprocesses. Some
Googling suggests that such problems are quite prevalent and might not
be easy to solve.
