While I don't know the answer. I think resizable widgets are for things like lists where you would use a weight="1" type of setup to fill up all the space given to you.
So basically, you need to fit your entire layout into the smallest possible size you gave in the desriptor and then size one or more of the views to fill up the the extra space, if any. I don't believe it's a generic replacement for a 1x1, 2x2, 3x3 type of widget where you actually use different layouts to display more info.
