It's a matter of preference: - load all widgets from DSOs in a matter of ~10 seconds and have a non- resizing dialog vs. - show the dialog immediately with at least the right size for the first shown widget or a size hint given by the application and resize later when needed If you think about it, you'll find there's no other way to achieve a non- resizing dialog than to discard lazy loading of the KCMs. Do you really want to do that? -- ________________________________________________________ Matthias Kretz (Germany) <>< http://Vir.homelinux.org/
