interesting.
on this matter btw i noticed that on Qt it's qstyle dependent, and the only 
style i found so far that doesn't have a fixed default size is oxygen.

is btw something that i would like to see fixed, that if doesn't break the 
behaviour of too many applications (that is becoming a reason why doing any 
change in the oxygen qstyle has become extremely difficult)
