I think I might have missed something or mis-explained something. I don't want to defeat the auto arrangement when docking the window. I want to avoid undoing the docking (and subsequent narrowing) of the gvim window as a result of the following:

* tab split or tabclose
* set guioptions+=b when it doesn't have b
* set guioptions-=b when it does

The above commands seem to cause the gvim window to change size, which somehow causes Windows 7 to adjust the window position. I made a snyde comment about how Windows handles gvim's change in window size but I think I hastily jumped on the Windows bashing bandwagon. In truth, if the gvim window changes size, perhaps there is no rational way to handle it. Maybe this problem can be avoided if gvim doesn't change its windows size upon execution of the above commands. (Not meant as a criticism, but rather, as an observation of how the problem might be avoided).
