Hey,

I toyed a bit with KDE4.0 and was a bit upset by setting dialogs like the one 
attached to the screenshot. I looked a bit at the code and I lack ideas how 
to fix the root cause.

What these dialogs have in common are:
	- One got some kind of a BoxLayout
	- One adds a couple of KNumInput derived classes into the layout
	- One uses KNumInput::setLabel

As I said above I lack ideas how to fix the KNumInputs so that they align 
properly. For kcm_keys I ditched the KNumInput::setLabel, created a label 
myself, used QLabel::setBuddy and put everything into a QFormLayout. 
Specially the last bit is the important one. By using a QFormLayout we make 
sure the label and input area are properly aligned.

Is there anything we can do to KNumInput to fix it? Using a layout, using a 
QSpacerIterm? Provide a QLabel* KNumInput::label() and then put that into a 
QFormLayout ourselves?
