[sldev] settings.xml: new entry vanishing on SL exit

[Mike Monkowski]

1.  "the" settings.xml file is misleading.  Each user has a 
user_settings/settings.xml file, but the main file is 
app_settings/settings.xml.  That's the one you have to change.

2.  Becauser someone hardcoded the height in the code.  Search for "526" 
in llfloatersnapshot.cpp
