I had simply underestimated that this is not a bug in KDialogButtonBox only, but broken all over the place.

The reason is that, as already pointed by René, QPushButton::SizeHint already include the size of the icon to be  drawn in the size it calculates and passes to QStyle::sizeFromContents.

It's not a bug, the icon (if present) is part of the content and requires space. Since there's only one ContentsType in QStyle, it correctly contains combined sizes of icon and text (in width)
If you don't want the icon, you need to remove it from the contents size for the returned size, that's how it works =)


Yes, I had really not imagined how deeply broken this was - mostly due to invocation of KGuiItem, altering the standard buttons everywhere :-(


No impact on the "no superfluous icons at all please" stance - that must and can be (fairly easily, see patch) covered by the style.
The one and only "tricky" thing is to get the users wish down to the style.
