uff, i think i start to get annoying but...
uhm, what widget?
anyways, using the geometry of the view(yeah, i know, bad) retrieved in 
paintinterface to calc the borders, the layout margins won't get updated, so 
i will get too little margins and similar to previous problem it is necesary 
to resize the panel with the config dialog to get the layout margins updated 
right. really, i can't figure out how to unbreak this thing :(
