- If your part does not want to conform to frame negotiation guidelines,
- perhaps it should not support being presented within any frame smaller
- than it's "required" size. You could iconize, for example. Either that,
- or your part could scale it's contents to conform to the frame it has
- been given. If your part supports being embedded, it will also need to
- address being printed at resolutions other than 72dpi. I'm mentioning
- this because if your frame is unable to emotionally adapt to a size
- smaller than it requested, perhaps it is making assumptions about the
- device resolution, too.
