The real answer to the question is "whatever the
maximum
required to display all
the kcontrol widgets". That being said, the 640x480
default probably came from
KDE1 when VGA was the new standard. The fly in the ointment
is the new 10" mini
laptops -- I don't know what their resolution is, but I
think we could safely do
800x760 as the default kcontrol size.
What we need to do is just run kcontrol and find out what
the max size needs to
be using kruler. I'll take a look tonight and see what I
come up with. I'm
betting that 800x760 would do while still preserving
usability with the 1320x768
res monitors.
Sounds nice. You also have to knnow where in the sources to make the change. Somewhere in
tdebase/kcontrol? :-)
