I believe the rather heavy handed use of setSize (only for dialogs and
frames) is related to the lack of pack and validate?  I'll need to read
up on those two.  There isn't a single pack or validate anywhere.  When
I remove the setsize from an example dialog and add pack I end up with
a tiny little box.  I can expand that tiny box and see all the
components but I'm guessing (big leap huh?) that this indicates a bit
of a problem.

My example dialog is in fact using layouts (Border to be exact) and
seems to be doing everything else properly.  Not entirely sure why its
showing this behavior but I'm going to guess that the previous
developer saw that setSize fixed the problem and just stuck it in as
needed.
