Well, for the people that do use it that way, it becomes a dealbreaker to
using OS X.

Actually, I don't so much mind Docking Maneuvers not remembering this (since
it is, after all, a hack), but I do have a problem when my desktop settings
are not being remembered, as I assume the desktop/Finder are not hacks :-)

Well, as I pointed out, this happens when switching between OS 9 and OS X,
so you'd need to do that in order to experience it. Switching Locations 9in
their own convoluted way) works fine under OS X, but it seriously screws up
OS 9 settings when you boot back 9which I have to do since I can only afford
to lose 2-3 days at a time, and I need at least one day to make up for the
lost time).

I really would like to know what was wrong with having that indicator as a
nice red bar in the background of the menubar on the top - where it was
easy, and intuitive to see.
On a PB LCD screen, the whole concept of the translucency of the Dock and
the colors contained in it is simply not good to look at. Seem sno one at
Apple/NeXT has understood the concept of 'contrast'.
On the other hand, under Classic, Entourage runs really nicely - and so does
Classic IE, as a matter of fact.
