No it was a fresh install of Salix (unvoluntarily ;-) :-( i ran over my pre-existing installation). I also see all that qt4 settings utilities. The only things i copied over, manually and step by step, where some themes and icon sets - and some fluxbox configuration files.

Unless you have install lxqt on your own (it's not included in the salix or slackware repos), then I can see no way such a file can be created. Although it may have been created by lxappearance and with the lxde/lxqt split/merge/whatever the messages got mixed up in the source code a bit. In which case the question becomes: if lxappearance is in fact configuring all that, why are you trying to do it manually too?

1) The idea that lxappearance very likely will have installed this seems reasonable to me.

2) As far as i see lxappearance does it only in the qt flavour. In my experience the font settings of lxappearance when running a fluxbox desktop never ever got respected. They always fell down to the system default. May be Julien Lavergne changed something in the prospective of lxqt (which on the other hand is not so fun because it's pure qt5 and there are still missing lots of tools).

3) I think i'l go to delete it. Btw, would it be sane to delete to all the qt4 stuff too? I do not see lots of kde or qt based applications (but you never know ;-) ). In /usr/share/applications for example, there are many doubles of the *.desktop files with the OnlyShownIn=KDE option . . .
