Yes, you described it perfectly. Thanks! I think I'm going to use  
Joern's suggestion to have it appear in the correct position from the  
start, which should obviate the problem. It won't have the magic  
slide anymore (which I can't help but get a kick out of), but it  
should be more usable.

Will notify as soon as I've made the change.

Cheers,
Karl
