Ah, okay. You're saying it should come locked in place out of the box.
I think that would be okay, but I really think if we did that, we
should make it obvious that it's designed to be movable. Maybe echo
the halos locking option in one of the menus? (Microsoft does this
with their taskbar, and I had no trouble figuring it out.)
