Nah, I had to do that to get the dialog working. (See next post)

To test if that is the problem, close MT then go to C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\.maptool\configs and rename layout.dat to something else like layout.old. Then try opening MapTools and see if you can get the frame to appear. If so, then you'll need to reset the positions on all your other frames. If not, you can close MT and rename layout.old back to layout.dat.

Once you figure it out and get the frame to reappear, I'd recommend shutting down MT and making a backup copy of the good layout.dat file (call it something like layout.safe or layout.good or some such) so that if you run into the problem again you can just copy it back to layout.dat and fix the problem without losing your other frame positions.
This must be it (will test tomorrow), but when I was just seeing if I could get a frame to open at all, I probably closed it with the x. (Why not, right?) Hmm, this is something that should be fixed.

Nah. We're thinking we'll just leave it this way until people start to depend on this behaviour. Then it'll be fixed.

I have fixed it and will send the patch to Trevor with a few other small bug fixes later today

Well, I'm away and working with the campaign on my laptop. Problem isn't there, even if I close the frame with the x. I'll have to check to wait till I get back home to see what the deal is with the other computer. (Any chance it's a vista vs. XP thing? - the XP computer works, but not the vista one.)
