Another thing which I just noticed: the font selector has now fixed
size. Most of the widgets have some default size policy which should be
changed if needed to reflect its nature in the UI. Look at the Bookshelf
Manager for example: in every page there is at least one widget which
takes all the available extra space when the dialog is resized larger.
Personally I feel the sizes are the most difficult thing in Qt layout
design, if I want to have resizeable windows with reasonable
minimum/default sizes. I have lost my sense of humor couple of times
with the search dialog design, for example :)
