David: If I understand what you're proposing, I think you're facing a losing battle here. With so many possible settings for resolution and variations in pixel density of screens, it's unlikely you'll be able to match the size of objects across systems/screens. The only (poor) option I was ever able to come up with is manual calibration on the part of the user: they need to hold some measuring device to the screen and either adjust their screen resolution appropriately, or dynamically adjust the size of objects in a stack.
Maybe someone else has another suggestion.
