Sorry I took so long in responding...

Here's a screenie. I see the same problem in kscd too.

Its running in Xephyr in 1024x768 res. I built my environment following the 
instructions on developernew and I'm using a checkout of libs/base from 
sometime on Jan 18. 

The duplicated track listing in KAudioCreator is my modification to the ui 
file (I'm attempting to move from the compatibility classes to proper Qt 4 
classes).

Yeah. When I update again later I'm pretty sure this will have sorted itself 
out. Its not a big deal now since I can resize the dialog...Hmm..I just 
realized that the last time I updated libs I didn't do a 'make clean'. That's 
probably the problem. I'll try that when I update this week...

That's what I sort of what I guessed/assumed. What threw me was the fact that 
kdialog is a widget through inheritance. I'm guessing that you can't pass any 
window type to setMainWidget which makes sense, since a window is supposed to 
work on its own....tests it out...yeah, if CDInfoDialog inherits QWidget and 
not KDialog it works as thought.

thanks for the help!
