[PyKDE] Geometry management

[Boudewijn Rempt]

Well, I guess I'm the first to open the list... Hello, all!

I've recently been toying with geometry management, which appears to
be pretty mandatory for KDE, and I found some strange things. Does
anyone know why, when I set the minimumsize of one of the widgets in a
gridlayout, setting the minimumsize of my dialog doesn't work anymore? 
Try removing the comment at line 40.

Is there anyone who has more experience with geometry management? It's
rather difficult to layout nice dialogs - what I generally do is using
QtArch to layout the thing, and translate the result to Python.

I have the small example script attached...
