As I already mentioned the network applet is resizing itself when the user 
changes the detail level with the mouse wheel. Is there a chance to keep this 
functionality together with free-resizing? Anything I can do to make both 
features work together?

I thought the free-resizing (by using the handle) is more like rotating and 
zooming so that a certain zoom-level gets stored for the applet. This 
zoom-level (or scale-factor) could be something that I can apply to the size 
of the panel when resizing it myself...
