I don't mean to challenge your knowledge, because you know far more
about this than me, but it seems to me that the tool bar not holding
it's set preference and the buddy list window creeping up the screen are
related. I did a little experiment and set the tool bar to icon&text
mode, and made the buddy list reach the bottom of the screen. When I
changed the tool bar back to text mode, the bottom of the buddy list
rose the same amount it does everytime I start Fire. The space, for me
anyway, seems to be a little less than other applications give to avoid
the dock (as the dock still does overlap the buddy list window).
Based on this, could it be possible that on starting Fire, the
buddy list starts at the bottom of the screen, and the tool bar starts
in icon&text mode. Fire then reads the preference file and changes the
tool bar, and respective window size to match the user's preferences.
If this IS how it's being done, then it's obviously not reading the tool
bar preference right (because it puts it in icon only instead of text)
and it adjusts the window size to match the text only mode. Also, this
problem might be solved by having a change in the tool bar NOT affect
the size of the window. This would also keep chat windows from going
off the screen if I un-collapsed the tool bar.
I don't know how much sense any of that made, but it seems to make
sense to me. If you don't get something though, I'd be glad to explain
if it'll get the buddy list window to stay where I put it.
