I wasn't actually commenting on any hijack feature, and prefer to keep my player in a text mode most of the time in the car, thus the normal "legal" feature of going back to a text mode on boot is fine with me.

What I was asking for is a workaround for when the player restores "Now and Next" even though I only spent a second on the screen before hitting a button to switch it to the visual mode. This is probably more approiate as a player feature, but I figured I'd drop the idea here for hijack since the idea was burried somewhere in the Wish List forum.
