Are you wanting me to change the QDialog's .sizePolicy?  to which
setting ..... ?

(I'm flying blind not being able to see what is happening cross-platform.)

Currently the setting is `prefereed' for Horiz and Vertical Policy,
and 0 for Horiz and Vert Stretch

What is the setting neeed please?

For completeness, as I understand from Stefan's posts that you have
already done in this in C++, nonetheless can I set this as either
.windowModality =

 1.  windowModal  or 2. ApplicationModal    or do you not mind which?

Paul
