hi all....

now that we have applet handles handling sizes, remember:

- applets should *not* store or retrieve their own size from config(). 
Plasma::Applet does that for us.

- resize to a reasonable default in the constructor (whatever that means for 
the config)

- only over ride contentSizeHint if there is good reason to (e.g. aspect ratio 
is important, the systemtray, etc)

- if the applet needs to resize at runtime because of changing content, this 
is ok to do. just be careful of the form factor.

- setting a minimum size is a good idea for aplets that need a certain amount 
of room no matter what
