Okay, I made a very quick-and-dirty change.  If there is enough
room to fit a keyboard with larger, 48x48 buttons, on the
current canvas, with the chosen layout, Tux Paint will do so.
Otherwise, it will fall back to the smaller, 24x24 buttons.

You can see examples here in this tweet:

While I was at it, I made the font size used for the buttons
slightly larger.  It was 12pt before (24x24 buttons).
It is now 16pt on the small keyboard, and 32bpt on the larger
keyboard (48x48 buttons).

I hope this proves useful!  Any further improvements would probably
require a bit of rewriting how things work in there.
