I don't have your problem in my KDE 3.2 box.

BUT BE CAREFUL!

Form.Width and Form.Height include the window decorations. The size of window 
decorations is guessed by Qt, because there is no way to get them on X11.

You must always include the size of the decorations when computing a form 
size, by using Form.Width - Form.ClientW and Form.Height - Form.ClientH

Form.ClientW returns the width on the window client area. Form.ClientH its 
height.

So you must write:

FRules.Height = 8 + lblHeading.Height + 8 + pnlRule3.Height + 8 + 
cmdCancel.height + FRules.Height - FRules.ClientH.
