Yes, fine with me too.

I just tried resize() in an init() method with a Ruby applet and
indeed it doesn't work. But this is one more thing we need to document
as people will probably still expect resize() to work and won't know
about the entry to do it in the metadata.desktop file.

We really need a visual dev environment like Plasmate where this kind
of thing will be done for the user by setting a project property or
whatever.
