I don't think it has anything to do with the libraries. It's just a matter of how Dominions calculate size/position of panels: from 2 dimensions (width and height) or from one dimension (width or height) and aspect ratio.
Does it do it that way? I thought that it used a library and accepted settings from a set of standard screen sizes.

OpenGL+SDL should accept any sensible screen sizes (including widescreen) and I don't think there's any auto-layout support in SDL. There're very few libraries that has auto-layout on any OS. So it's most likely that Dom3 calculates layout itself.

Since the game is rendered in openGL, it is most likely a bug when setting up window-coordinates. Once the tranformation matrices are set up correctly, the game would not have to worry any further about them.

This is the same for any openGL compatible system, which is basically all OSs in this day&age.
