It does so as soon as it can but not all menus are available on all
servers so iPeng can't put them there until the menu gets available. No
albums, artists, whatever on MySqueezebox.com, Spotify et al. are even
per-player menus.
As soon as the menu gets available, it gets moved in place.

Once per tip. Which version are you using? Are you maybe using a
jailbreak that prevents iPeng from storing any settings in it's user
defaults? That would also explain why you can't keep the button bar as
it's supposed to be.

iPeng never brings up the popup automatically again after you've seen it
once, unless there is a major release change (2.0 will bring them back
the first time since 1.2, I believe).

I understand. But first: you know how I think about options: iPeng does
already have too many of them (I'm happy to have been able to remove one
in iPeng 2.0)
And then: what do I put there when the slider is gone? It's either
something that's not necessary or something that needs an alternative
place when the slider IS present.
I seriously considered to remove the slider (actually the whole lower
bar) for iPeng 2.0 on 3,5" devices but found it too cumbersome to bring
it back and it needed to be the full bar to make any sense. The slider
alone is only big enough for a single row of text.

Yes, but as I said: most iPeng users are not aware of that feature and
don't use it and I can't advertise it.
Plus, lack of a volume bar was the #1 complaint when Spotify's iPad App
came out :)
