yep. just call resize() based on the current size rather than reimplement 
contentSizeHint().

it's not a zoom level. never has been, never was planned on being. it's how 
big in pixels the user or device (or containment or layout or..) wants/needs 
the object to be. resolution independant interfaces.

what does need to happen (which isn't right now) is the applet handle needs to 
be fixed to respect the minimumSizeHint
