The difference is that qooxdoo, to provide the best visual presentation with
all the fancy decorations etc, has to controll the width and height or
everything. It doesn't use CSS. In your PHP/CSS application, if you set
absolute sizes of your elements you will see the same behavior if you
increase the font size.

If you are concerned about allowing the users to increase the font size of
your application and still make it usable, then I suggest that you build
that into your app, provide a menu item or button to increase the font and
at the same time increase the size of all your controls.
