In that case you can still go for the workflow I described. I'm doing exactly
that with two applications I'm working on.
For the sidebar, you could dynamically resize it depending on its state.
Again, I'm doing exactly that with 2 apps which both have a notifications
system. The notification window's height is set dynamically, depending on the
number of notifications.
Use a WindowManager to control the layout (position, size, etc..) of all the
windows, save positions in a SharedObject so you can restore the application
state when the app is (re)started, etc..

It is sized 100% because in other areas more components will pop-up. Also
inside the application there is a sidebar component which is aligned to the
right of the screen. When the application is inactive the sidebar will
resize to 1px. The app needs to be always in front so that when the user
moves the mouse to the edge of the screen on the right side a mouse_over
event will be detected and the sidebar will slide back in to be 300px width.
This way my app will behave as a sidebar on the OS which will be able to
fill the screen with several components. This is needed for a CRM
application used internally in the company I work for.
