Do you have a way to force Qt to do layout without showing a widget?

I think all of us have closed at least a context menu in kicker over the years 
because it opens too low over the panel. If it were possible to force a 
layout somehow, the geometry would be correct the first time the menu pops 
open.


Also, what you say seems to be part of the problem, but another seems to be 
that the window is first opened with some "default" size, then it is restored 
to the size it had when the application was last closed.

Or is this a different problem?

Uh, yes, a small test would help. ;)
