Sounds sensible. Before you commit, could you please test for no crashes explicitly, e.g. by removing the relevant setRenderSize() calls in some game?

This both saves some totally unnecessary rendering and is more likely to match the expectations of users of KGRC.

The issue was intermittent due to a race condition between the KGameRenderer's threaded rendering and Qt's delayed painting making it tricky to track down. Anyway, once I found the source of the 3x3 size, the issue was easy enough to work around, but I'd rather not see other devs hit similar issues.
