Qt based buttons don't either.
If some fool uses absolute positioning and sizing,
then it is not the toolkit to blame.
I'm using wxPython for instance and use the sizers and placeholders
there, so this is possible with Qt also.
So, perhaps (which I don't know) Aqua buttons simply don't permit
absolute stuff ?
Or the Aqua programmers read the user interface guidelines carefully ?
