I certainly have never changed this preference....

I agree. Among other things, there's some number of windows which don't 
actually follow the preference.

On a different note:

I sometimes think that it might be good to have a separate entry under 
Edit !  for the protocol prefs; i.e., Edit ! Protocol Preferences

More often than not I want to change a protocol pref and it's just a bit 
annoying to have to downarrow thru all the other prefs first to get to 
the protocol prefs.

It the protocol prefs are a separate entry under Edit ! then I think the 
protocol prefs should then always just start out as expanded.
