That doesn't work. Translations will break it. QML makes it easy for 
developers to force vertical edges to be aligned, so I don't think you have to 
worry too much about it. Actually forcing a minimum with might fool developers 
into thinking items are aligned, only to see the UI break when the application 
is translated.
