Hi Paul,
Thanks for finding this issue.
The main bug here is that the panel height/width do not change
accordingly.  I guess I am assuming the user knows what they are trying
to accomplish without giving them sane defaults if they do not.
So the issue you are seeing is that your current height/width are just
being transfered and so the panel looks really terrible and misshapen.
I will do some additional checking and assume the user does not
specifically want the defaults *if* they would be really odd.  If the
user is so hardcore they are doing really weird stuff I am sure they can
edit xml fairly well and wont need my program.
Keep up the good work!!
