That was it! Thanks a lot! This thing was driving me mad :-) I had
grepped through the store for the bad hash, but I forgot about my
$HOME :-)

This is where the old nix store path to qt was:
    ~/.config/QtProject/qtcreator/qtversion.xml

After doing
    mv ~/.config/QtProject{,.bak}

I now have the "Applications" entry and can create and run Qt apps. (I
have gcc and make in my environment.)

Great!

I couldn't find your repo on github, though. I found a "Baptist
BENOIST" user, but there were no public repos.

Ok.
