Martin, do you really mean to say you will define some imaginary "target users"
thus excluding anyone that does not match? Seriously? 
How many users does ktp have right now by your estimate? Even if you are
generous do you really think this sample is representative of the KDE base at
large?
You say being a developers magically makes you know better what the user shall
see, well let me use your approach and take you for a ride... what next, if you
were plasma devs would you force me to use widgets of certain size only?? cause
I may resize it to a rational ration rather than strictly integer?? Hell... you
shall really read Orwell 

I for example feel crammed and claustrophobic in the tight auto-resizing box on
the desktop.  I use kpt on a Nokia phone and it is fine being 1 line there, I
am guessing the box frame being very very think makes a difference. This is an
issue of taste too and if there is no technical reason as you acknowledge above
then what is the problem of having it as extra option in 'advanced' section of
sorts? None of the arguments answers this instead you say you recognise the
particularity of the situation but will go ahead bullishly anyway 'cause users
will get used to it'?
As Alin very appropriately appropriately pointed out one of the main
attractions of KDE is its configurability.  If users are to get used to
whatever the devs decide then whats the point of KDE? There are 2 GNOMEs
already covering this, and for those not overly concerned with politics there
is Mac OS X.
