Can't we solve this by using QScrollView widgets? Could we make 
KConfigDialogBase put all the "pages" in QScrollViews? I did this for one of 
my ConfigDialogs in amaroK already (xine-config) and it solves the problem of 
dialogs that produce too large a sizeHint.

Sure it isn't always pretty, but otherwise it seems fairly impossible to 
guarantee a sizeHint of less than 800x600 when you take into account 
translations, variable font sizes and different widget styles.
