I tried to see what happens there. So far what I found is that the 
problem is with finding the default layout for the dialog. When a 
KSqueezedTextLabel is created, it squeezes the text according to the 
actual size available. At this moment, the dialog is still small (it is 
just being constructed). Later the dialog is resized to the sizeHint 
value, but as KSqueezedTextLabel returns the actual size of the label, 
the sizeHint remains unchanged: the dialog appears with a squeezed text, 
even if the full text would fit on the screen.
 Solving this problem is a headache and look like a chicken/egg issue. 
:) I'm working on it, but well, I'm not sure I can come up with a good 
solution  that would not break other apps using KSqueezedTextLabel.
