As long as it doesn't do that all the time; if your dialog is a 
bunch of buttons and checkboxes, sure, but for example if you're 
writing a text editor you'll want the editor widget to grow (but 
the font to stay the same) while the other widgets retain their 
size, more or less.

I think implementing some of the Qt layout widgets could go a 
long way towards making this easier, and maybe optionally the 
ability to tie a layout widget to a form so the top level 
controls are automatically resized as you can do in Qt apps.  
Gtk has layout managers too so it's not like you'd be doing 
something overly Qt-specific.

I guess if no one's done this in a year or so I might take a stab 
at it ;)  "stab" is about the kindest term you can use to refer 
to my attempts at C++...
