Hi, I've been hacking at the control center [file assiciations] module. 
Mostly the layout. Since the dialog did not resize when the window did.
I put everything in a QGridLayout, and wanted to put the Iconbutton inside
a QGroupBox, creating a total hierarchy as the following:

QGridLayout
+- QGroupBox
 +- QHBoxLayout
  +- KIconLoaderButton

The QHBoxLayout is used because something has to go into the QGroupBox...

This works just fine:
  QHBoxLayout *hBox = new QHBoxLayout(this,KDialog::marginHint(), KDialog::spacingHint());
  lay->addLayout(hBox,1,3);

  iconButton = new KIconLoaderButton(this);
  iconButton->setIconType(KIcon::Desktop, KIcon::MimeType);
  connect(iconButton, SIGNAL(iconChanged(QString)), SLOT(updateIcon(QString)));
  iconButton->setFixedSize(50, 50);
  hBox->addWidget(iconButton,AlignLeft); 

While this code puts my Iconbutton totaly on the wrong spot: (about centered 
in the whole dialog)
  gb = new QGroupBox(i18n("Icon"), this);
  QHBoxLayout *hBox = new QHBoxLayout(gb,KDialog::marginHint(), KDialog::spacingHint());
  lay->addWidget(gb,1,3); 

//[same 2nd part as above]
  iconButton = new KIconLoaderButton(this);
  iconButton->setIconType(KIcon::Desktop, KIcon::MimeType);
  connect(iconButton, SIGNAL(iconChanged(QString)), SLOT(updateIcon(QString)));
  iconButton->setFixedSize(50, 50);
  hBox->addWidget(iconButton,AlignLeft); 


Could someone help me out here. As an attachment you'll find the patch with the 
code..
(patch -0 <filetypes.diff  from the dir where kdebase resides in)

Thanx!!
