yep. just call resize() based on the current size rather than reimplement=20

it's not a zoom level. never has been, never was planned on being. it's how=
=20
big in pixels the user or device (or containment or layout or..) wants/need=
s=20
the object to be. resolution independant interfaces.

 to=20
be fixed to respect the minimumSizeHint
