Yes - they take their strongest tip from the preferred size
of components.  If practical - a component is set to its 
preferred size.

If we set the preferred size, it is up to the us to 
calculate a sensible value.  This might be based 
on the the content (list items), screen size, other 
things, or combinations.

As far as the resolution goes, see Toolkit.getScreenSize().
