they resize the container if the minimum size required isn't met. we don't do 
that in plasma currently. it's completely a one directional operation. which 
makes some things a lot simpler =)

implementation of contentSize() returns layout()->sizeHint(). if you're ok 
with that then indeed we don't need to discuss it =)
