Hello Thomas,

a while ago we had talked about our (rather hackish) system in Amarok
for preserving MainWindow aspect ratios in the layout. If I remember
correctly, you proposed to replace this system with a better solution.

Now that some time has passed our old system is showing its age very
badly, and the code becomes hard to understand, let alone to maintain.

Do you still have a patch or ideas around for a replacement? :)
