[PATCH}Re: Konqueror throbber size -- too small and doesn't resize

[James Richard Tyrer]

This is not going very well.

With 12 point type, the Menu bar is 30 pixels tall.  However, if I use a 
throbber icon that is larger than 20 pixels, the Menu bar gets taller.

And using the pixel height of the font:

   int size = QFontInfo(KGlobalSettings::menuFont()).pixelSize();

seems to have problems as well since the value is only 17 (which is 
correct).

So, I have the attached diff that is only going to help those with high 
resolution screens.

This leaves me with questions.

17 pixels is correct for 12 points @ 100 DPI but where does the extra 3 
pixels come from and is there a way to obtain this value?

Is there any way to use a throbber that is larger than Qt seems to think 
will fit in the Menu bar?

See screen shot which shows a 20x20 throbber (I simply set size = 20 to 
try it).  There is clearly room for a larger throbber -- 22x22 would 
look OK.
