Yes. The way I understood it - and hence build the plasmoid - is that handles 
resizing the applet sets a new size, then calls constraintsUpdated and I take 
that new size and calculate my content according to it.

Since it does not work for me, i.e. kDebug() << contentSize() as the first 
line in constraintsUpdated shows the old size, I must either overwrite the 
value, which I don't think I do and it could only happen if 
constraintsUpdated is not the plasmoid's first function called after resizing 
or there is a bug.

I never actually set the size, just minimalSizes, which should leave size() 
alone in case it is smaller than it, which is another hint against me 
overwriting the value. But since I'm a beginner, who knows.

That's what I thought.
