I sent Jody a patch last night to add 'Re-freeze'  to the menu.   It will have to wait until 1.3, if you want the patch to play with let me know.

This simply adds a re-freeze option to the menu, it is disabled it the panes aren't frozen.

'Re-freeze' is equivalent to doing an 'Un-freeze' followed by a 'Freeze'  + it just freezes at whatever cell(s) are currently selected.

In the case where you want to re-freeze, but also move some of the currently frozen rows/columns off screen, then you still have to do that as a three stage process (un-freeze, move the view, re-freeze at the new position).   The patch doesn't stop you doing this -- it just doesn't make it any easier.
