That's a problem indeed. Are Plasma widgets affected by the application
global strut? I used to work for a company where we implemented a
touch-screen application back in the days, and increasing the global
strut made quite a few widgets bigger, thus easier to use. This might
cause some space issues if it gets too big though.
