User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:15.0) Gecko/15.0 Firefox/15.0a1
Build ID: 20120531030517

Steps to reproduce:

Bought the game music bundle at http://www.gamemusicbundle.com
Attempted to start downloading a group of mp3's from that purchase, then coming back later, using the download "tool" -arrived at by going to the tools menu and choosing "downloads"- as a guide, download some more from the list.


Actual results:

The download "tool" blocked the view of the game bundle list as represented by a rectangle of graphics. The download "tool" was undraggable, and as I attempted to reposition the window completely disappeared. Attempting to bring up the download "tool" with the window repositioned resulted in the tool re-covering the window.


Expected results:

There should have been a proper draggable download window, that did not disappear until I dismissed it, stay on top optional, that I could use to guide me to the last item I downloaded so I could resume with the next mp3 file.
There are several separate issues in this bug report, but one of things you could argue is that the download panel can obstruct content because you can't snap it out of view.

The panel should open only once in the session, and we should stop opening it after some impressions (this is done as sort of a tutorial to the user). Once this happens this bug (or at least the associated annoyance) should be mostly fixed.

WFM per comment 2, we open the panel automatically only the first time it's used in a build having the feature enabled.
