Great! but how do you get SPD to NOT auto login with contributor settings enabled in the first place??

It appears to be connected to workflow being applied at any level of a site. I applied workflow to the lists which I am customising and presenting as XSL data views. I then found my sites open by default in Contributor mode.
Unfortunately it doesnt seem to be possible to save these settings from session to session, or to disable Contributor mode globally across a site collection - each time you open the site you will again have to disable Contributor mode.
ManMIS, it's actually in the Advanced button at the bottom of the dialog box.
