Nils,
Are you still experiencing this issue? Can you please provide me with an update on ever this issue ever got resolved in a newer version of sddm or other packages? Thanks!

Sorry Samantha, the machine in question doesn't boot anymore, therefore I can't check. I have kept them fo reading floppies. Unfortunately the machine suffered from flooding of the basement.

According to this: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTUxMDM
It was an intentional design decision made by the QT developers to enable SSE2 starting in QT5.3
More information is available on the QT projects design decisions here: http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2013-November/014085.html
Recommending this bug be closed as it was an intentional, and is therefore not a bug.
