observer bar keeps coming back

[nsklaus]

the observer bar seems to be always visible, even when i choose to hide it and save it that way, the next time i open a new game, the bar keeps coming back. you were saying this was independent from the general layout and a special settings for it might have to be made for it. this issue will serve as a reminder of that talk as it's easy to forget when time passes and one gets involved in other parts of the code.
