Chris, your description of the various size specifications is correct. Thanks.
You are also correct that the Stock Tracker tutorial used to cover this - a long time ago, Stock Tracker was the *only* tutorial, so we had to try to fit a lot in there. :-) I took it out for Pivot 1.5 thinking that it was now covered by the TablePane tutorial, but I guess it is not. We should probably add some of that detail back in.
