It shouldn't be too hard to get around that somehow. Just keep another 
QPainter around just to set the font to it and extract the metrics from 
there.

Even with my last update (restoring drawTextAux()) ?

It already does that. The font it displays by default is the "all purpose" KDE 
font as selected in KControl.

I doubt the "more intelligent guess" will be much smaller to implement than 
the changes I just committed.
