Giving a fixed size to a dialog, and putting its widgets in a fixed 
place causes issues with:
a) different fonts than the ones the dialog was designed
b) texts of different size, like translated ones
so no, this is not an "improvement", this is a *bug*.

plasmate/publisher/publisher.ui 
plasmate/publisher/remoteinstaller/remoteinstaller.ui
plasmate/editors/kconfigxt/kconfigxteditor.ui
plasmate/startpage.ui

(Not that there are many .ui files in plasmate, so you could have even 
checked on your own.)

They are issues which don't fit extragear either, and IMHO they are more 
close to playground-quality code.

QXmlStreamWriter::writeNamespace could be a guess.

That's point #3, while point #2 is similar to what I suggested.

There were many "major issues" back when I did my first reviews, and 
some of them still are present; you did and still are underestimating 
the importance/impact of the issues I reported.
