Same here. I specify major component sizes, i.e. JPanel, etc.  as 
percentages of the screen size returned by the Toolkit. The only 
components I specify in pixels are text-related components, where the 
component size determines whether the text gets cropped. I suppose I 
should work back the other way by basing the component size on the size 
and font used by the text it displays, but so far I've hand-tuned this 
and found that it has worked acceptably on different-sized screens, but 
maybe I've just been lucky.
