I agree that the IDE should have live-resizing, but not that
live-resizing should be on by default. I always roll my own resizing
handlers as I don't trust the Geometry manager. When testing, it is
much better to have live-resizing off, so if I have made a mistake,
there is only one resizeStack message sent, not hundreds. Once I know
I have it right, then I turn on live-resizing.
I guess my preferred option would be to have the standalone builder
turn on live-resizing for every resizable stack.
