WPF App scales differently on XP vs Win7 both at 96 DPI

I have an App I designed under Windows 7. The screen was set at 96 DPI. When deploying to a WinXp computer which is also set to 96 dpi the screen looks different. There is extra space left at the left and bottom. Below are the two screen shots. I'm wondering if I need to wrap the display in some UI tool and change some properties to make this look consistent. I tried adding UseLayoutRounding="true" but it didn't appear to do much.

How it should look (Win7)

How it looks under XP

It looks like you're using fixed sizes in the dialog rather than letting the WPF layout engine handle it with grids and whatnot. For instance, looking at the Delay label, I'm guessing they are fixed size and when the different font is used on XP, the label doesn't grow like it should in a normal WPF app.
