Yes, it's a half-way of what I defined as a bad design. But notice that the 
window may require resizing not only when you change from background settings 
to style settings. As soon as you check on a checkbox, click on a button, 
change tabs, choose from a combobox, the window may require resizing.

 It was just an example because I'm afraid that other apps would copy this 
method, if found in kdebase applications. Resizing windows got other problems 
too:

Say for example that a given control contains buttons A, B, C, D in order. You 
were pointing at button A, and click it. You try to press B, but the window 
resizes, the layout changes, and now under your mouse is button D instead of 
B, so you miss with the click. For a second you lost references to the whole 
window layout too, and you need to reread the thing to see where you are
