If you mean the most recent state of LXQt as a release (generally
1.3.0), as last updated by pin@ in April, then yes, as running on
9.3_STABLE. If you mean "recent" as in "recent state of all of pkgsrc
dependencies outside of LXQt itself", then, no, some are probably out
of date by several months. With this particular setup, I see no issues
with crashes (it's running right now).

I generally build (in a sandboxed pbulk environment) each DE after a
major update, targeting netbsd-9. If pin@ is handling an LXQt update
(we are co-maintainers, effectively), then I will be testing along
with him, in the background.

I don't think that necessarily means it "just works" in netbsd-9.
It could be several factors, including I have a very old profile that
has been defined since we originally imported LXQt. I am also using
xfce4-wm as its WM, not openbox, as I feel that's a better choice.
More testing is most welcome!
