I hope I can summarize my viewpoint in favour of large being the 
default:
If the webpage author decides for a non-square applet, it's because 
(s)he has a long molecule. Fitting by default to the shorter 
dimension sounds reasonable in general terms, but is a waste of 
applet space in rectangular applets.

Of course, whatever the default is, there's always the option of 
forcing "zoomLarge true". So, any decision is not a major problem.

The resizable window puts forward that such option may not be the 
best, but in this case it's the user who will choose **any** 
resizement, so that he can see the molecule. I don't object having 
small as default, but see no much difference. Regarding the coding, I 
really don't appreciate why one option gives more trouble than the 
other; if it's complicating things, then go ahead (I suppose that the 
current value of zoomLarge cannot be read and duplicated).
Naive question: if zoomLarge is the default, why has it got to be 
removed from the state --I mean, why include it in the state for a 
start?
