Bug 77528

This was commited to CVS a few days ago.  However, there is some discussion on kde-cvs as to whether this should be configurable and default on/off.

CVS commit by jriddell: 

Make tabs automaticly resize when window is too small to show them all

Configurable setAutoResize for tabs

Adds a 'Auto Resize Tabs' in the RMB of the 'new' button.  I'll update the Help
file and perhaps Tip file.

CVS commit by hindenburg:

I think additionally autoresizing should be turned off when selecting icon only-mode (see 'minimumTabWidth problem' posting on kde-cvs).

Yes, it is ugly with IconOnly and autoresizing on.  It shouldn't be too hard to set autoresizing off when IconOnly selected.  However, the user can still do this themselves.

You think the user will get the connection? Apparently even developers have problems with that. :-)
