Well this is not exactly what I would like (I tried your suggestion).
Actually, using a ListLayout make my Process having (approximately) the
same width of its compartment. I would like my process to be of exactly the
same size (width + height) as its containing compartment (i.e. the pool).

By the way, using a ListLayout make my process to be of half the heigth of
its compartment making Task additions rather strange.

The question is the following: with a compartment C having only one children
node N, how can I make N the exact size of C? 

        1. Is this possible without coding?
        2. If code is required, which class should be changed? I looked into
PoolCompartmentFD, and ProcessFD (to find its parent size and to make it of
the same size but without success).

Thanks & Regards.
