I would say "we would just turn it off" but we have a few places where we draw 
not using plasma components; but via QWidgets such as Menus, Dialogs, and some 
of the QQC stuff; and that's where we have problems.

In later Qt we should have a way to say "I'll do my own scaling kthnxbye" *per 
window*, which I think is the ultimate long term solution.
