[SailfishDevel] Managing screen resolution

[Seppo Tiainen]

Ok. I made all dimensions of the objects (many!) on the screen dependent on
the resolution. So the last thing to do will be getting the
device-dependent resolution value to QML which should be no problem in the
next version of the SDK, I guess.
