You can't invoke setX/Y/Width/Height etc. in Codename One. It just won't
work for you.
The layout manager and positioning logic overrides those values to position
the windows in resolution neutral locations. This makes the code work
seamlessly even if a device is rotated.
What matters for the size is the preferred size which is (sometimes) used
to calculate the actual size.
