i'm going to take guess at this one from what's in svn: in constraintsUpdated 
you always call calcaulate[Time|Date]String which adjusts your size hint and 
then you call updateGeometry which in desktop containments using FreeLayout 
simply respects your size hint. voila, size change overwritten.

you should wrap the formfactor checking in a if (constraints & 
Plasma::FormFactorConstraint) to make sure you are only doing that when the 
form factor changes.
