Never say always and never say never.
Yes, DoOnChangeBounds is one possibility, although it is called quite
often. 
DoOnResize is called later, less often and only for size. 
DoSetBounds is like DoOnChangeBounds, but not called for ClientRect
changes.

Many do that. 
You have to be careful about using big letters in file
names, as most Linux programs, including the IDE and FPC, work case
sensitive under Linux. 
If you use a version control system like git you
should use Lazarus 0.9.29 because it keeps the file endings in the lpi
and lpk files.
