It's likely due to the fact that Qt can properly layout objects with rich text 
that needs word-wrapped.  I hear it has something to do with a X11 limitation 
but it is annoying.  The problem shows up when you try to resize such a widget 
with rich text (even contained in a different widget); the layouting appears 
to forget to stop at the minimum size and allows you to resize to a very small 
window.

I'd have to check the svn log to see the exact reason though.
