I personally think setting a size in characters makes more sense than setting it in pixels when the toolkit is expected to cover a wide range of devices: setting a size in pixels is going to break when the code run on a device with a very different DPI value. > Again, i can imagine this to work > wonderful for plasma active, but it just doesn't work on the desktop. > The default width should be calculated based on the string that's put > into it.

David Edmundson review request provides something close to what you describe: let the button us a standard width by default, but offer a way to developers to override this width if need be. I did some research lately on what other UI guidelines recommend. Interestingly, both Windows and OS X guidelines recommend a default width, Windows guidelines going as far as saying if a button's width is less than the default width, it will look "unprofessionnal".
