Hi everyone,

Is there a way to auto-adjust the width of the combobox that represents a
KSelectAction in a toolbar? I do dynamic updates of the action list, and the
combobox gets really squeezed. In KDE3, I figured out a bad hack to iterate
over the action containers, cast to a toolbar, find the combobox, then reset
the combobox font. That worked, although I felt dirty.

But the same hack doesn't work, as far as I can tell, in KDE4. Can anyone
suggest a sane way of doing it now, or are dynamic actions not really
intended to be in a combobox? I could always use a popupmenu, I guess.

The one thing I can think that I have not tried yet, is to subclass
KSelectAction, which would give me access to the createdWidgets() method. I
could use that to iterate and find the combobox, then do the setFont(font())
trick again.

Thanks,
Robby
