As far as I understood the prob is here that e.g. Konqi's settings-dialog does 
resize what is, without question, evil as well and needs to be fixed.

I would suggest, and that's how I did understood Matthias, that we should look 
at e.g. Konqi's settings-dialog how to fix it while preserving the KDE3 logic 
of delaying loading the kcmodule's as long as possible (what the patch is 
about).

My suggestion here was to follow what we did with systemsettings. In the case 
of Konqi's settings-dialog we could try to identify those kcmodules which do 
result in such a resize and either (short term solution) put them into a 
QScrollArea or (long term solution) make them more friendly to also work fine 
on e.g. a eeePC.

Would that be better?
