System Preferences window is wider in Leopard? How do you make a Tiger compatible UI?

After designing the UI for a new System Preferences pane I've discovered that the window size in Leopard is 75 pixels wider than it was in Tiger or earlier OS releases. The net result appears to be that my shiny new UI is clipped on the right side in Tiger. Ugh. I've sent feedback that the docs are incorrect here and need to be updated...

In the mean time, what is the correct way to handle this?

From what I've read on the net adding springs in IB doesn't help. Would it be safe for me to resize the preferences window to be 75 pixels wider on Tiger while my pane is visible (and size it back down when my pane is deselected)?

Do I have to make my UI narrower and have an obnoxious amount of dead space around the edges on Leopard?

Thoughts?

Dave
