I think this is a useful workaround to increate SystemSettings' usability in 
the short term, as we work on KCModules to make sure they have a maximum 
dimension, but I agree with Matthias. 

Generally, putting widgets into scroll areas because they don't fit the 
available real estate is a bad hack, and putting this into kdelibs makes it 
harder to get the widgets fixed.

If we can't solve the KCModule size problems before 4.0 is released a local 
solution in KCMultiWidget would be ok.
