It was my impression from that last thread that we let the user specify a 
font-size (probably by just letting him select a sans-serif font with a 
specific size) and call that our 'smallestReadableFont'.

Then, on top of that, we can build an ensureFontReadable(QFont &) which 
alters the passed font if its smaller than the smallestReadable one.

For a first version I guess we can just get away with a simple 
setPointSize(qMax()) implementation for that.

So, most of the patch from boud is correct IMO.  The part that we 
discussed is still missing.  What is incorrect is the patch to the kcm 
that says this is about dockers.  Which it is not.
