Cutoff menu items, varying font sizes, the "Search" label, even the left 
qtreeview's header is weird.

Loos like font metrics were all cray.

Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. 
Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, 
by definition, not smart enough to debug it. --Brian W. Kernighan
