I also vote for having a default behaviour of having different sized buttons. 
Otherwise we will have a lot of dialogs, that are not usable on small 
displays. For example have a look at the KNewsTicker preferences dialog with 
e.g. german translation. It uses almost my whole screen, which is 1152 pixel 
wide.

What about using buttons with the same size in the Constructor "for a message 
box mode where the buttonMask can only contain Yes, No, or Cancel" and when a 
kdialogbase with the other constructors is created, using buttons with 
different sizes?
