Sticky Settings

Everytime I open DPR I have to collapse the thread headers and all the boxes on the right.  I realize that many if not most people may not wish to do this, but couldn't there be options added to the user preferences so that these changes be permanent?  That along with opting out of having the mouse over would definetly improve this user's experience.
