no, you should be using Applet::size(). don't try and figure out how big your 
applet should be based on the panel, etc. let the layout manage that for you 
and adjust your content accordingly to whatever size your applet is. there is 
the ability to set expanding direction preferenes, minimum size hints and 
there is also a size change constraint that results in calls to 
constraintsUpdated as well.

those things should give you all the information you need.
