What might be a problem is that the smallest size might change while you
run the module, for instance, by switching from tab to tab, or from tree
entry to another one.

Would you like to recalculate and resize window while running a module?
Because if you don't the first dialog might be just to small and the
second one might not fit into the window space. On the other hand,
resizing doesn't look professional and it would be nasty to resize a
Wizard (Back/Next/Finish) with, e.g., four different steps where you can
go back and forth.

Moreover, the way Qt does it is similar to ncurses (well, ncurses you
the whole screen but this is because the much you have there, the better
for you).

All in all, the default size is a solution for the issues mentioned
above, maybe not perfect but a solution.
