After trying to use FreeCol with narrow windows, it has become clear to me
that all panels should be resizeable until at least such a time as the code
has been cleaned up to handle narrow screen resolutions.
For instance, the Europe panel is not resizable, so after my test, I'm
stuck with a panel that's clipped and I can't resize it see the far right
side.

Anyway to set that stuff (panel sizes) back to defaults?
