I noticed that there appear to be two different customization variables
that purport to control the configuration of the speedbar frame.
There's the "obvious" one labeled "Frame Parameters" from the
"Customize" option on the right-click menu in the speedbar.  There's
also one that I've used before, named "speedbar-frame-plist".  It
appears that changes I make to the obvious one are ignored, but changes
to "speedbar-frame-plist" are respected (at least "left", which is the
one I'm trying to set).

I'm aware of the fact that these two variables are structured
differently (the obvious one uses the "(key . value)" syntax, and the
other separates the key and value in the customize UI.  I added "(left .
682)" to the obvious one, and it had no effect, whereas adding a
Property and Value of "left" and "682" to the other one changed the
speedbar frame location.

Is this perhaps happening because "speedbar-frame-plist" overrides the
value of the other variable?
