It should save on update from both of teh config pages. The save
command is there.  Could the file have been locked by somethig else?

The idea was that as you could modify all device at once you would't
need to go back and forward much so I sent it to the other config
screen on update as the config was finished. Can easily make it go
back to the device screen too.

No, it's just a boring static page. I actually find it very useful.
esp at tracking down a device that has grabbed the hub port!

Thickbox is a jquery plugin that does nice popups without leaving the
original page I presume you mean it's little titlebar and not that
it's not working, I can resend any xAP messages quite happily here?
I'll get the title bar to say the source of the message
