Well, we've to fix plasma by creating a container that knows about 
proportion, all plasma is vectorial so it should be quite easy to do I 
think. Anyway imho that's something for another thread.

I don't mind to add this feature but I'm not sure that we should add too 
much focus on it in the GUI, we should assume that plasma will work well 
and no layout will be messed.
