Nevertheless, the definition you propose doesn't recognize the munchkin's particular pathology being related to acquiring power, particularly with regards to killing ability. If I were to, say, play in a campaign set around Muslim resistance to the Crusades with a character named Fred Flintstone who drank heavily and sang show tunes, it would fit your definition but I doubt most people would call me a munchkin.
Me, I use the "Florentine ninja" definition mentioned upthread. It's funny and reminds me of the classical definition of chutzpa.
