[Qt-interest] setSizePolicy has no effect in subclass of QDialog

Well, generally speaking, this is exactly what I mean. But don't be
worried, because all standard widgets like push buttons, entry fields
etc. have convenient default settings of their size policies. Hence in
practice you only have to focus on a small subset of sub controls.

It might be that this is a misunderstanding from me because I understood
that your dialog has to react on any size change of one of its sub
widgets. And in that case it would not be sufficient to restrict the
size of the topmost widget (Qt could be forced to clip its contents).
