I will live with a preference for open/closed (as long as the behavior  
remains consistent - right now the toggle state is kept within limits  
within a session), but I really think that this should be like other  
UI elements of desktop-like programs: it should stay where you left  
it. Like the panels in the groupware apps, like the state of UI  
elements in other programs, if you left it open it should be open, if  
you left it closed it should be closed. I think we should try and  
follow that consistently where we can.
