O.P. Possible bug with floating contacts and remote desktop
Hi and hello.

I use to access to my home computer through Windows Remote Desktop while at work (yes, I've got time to do that :P). Since at home I use a 1280x960 screen and the remote connection is only 1024x768, first thing I noticed with floating contacts is that they did not appear. That changed with the last version, as Patchou introduced that feature which makes the contacts appear all over the screen (default position?)...
Affortunately, he also introduced the "fix position" option... nice.

However, I just restarted Windows remotely after installing some software, and when I reopened Messenger, all floating contacts appeared all over the screen again, even with the "fix position" tags (which by the way became unmarked). I am not sure if that is because I didn't close MSN before restarting, or because I restarted remotely.... still, it didn't work the way it should have... perhaps someone could check on that?
Using XP Pro btw. with  SP2 and the latest Plus! version. Not the latest MSN version though, but the one before that, since the last one didn't work very well on my machine.
