Hm, I'm not sure. On the one hand, I thought it makes sense to have the non-editable things (icon, name, etc.) separated from the editable ones, which is achieved by moving the editable properties to the bottom. But OTOH, you're right that the position of the editable things could vary then and might be very low. I'm not sure what the best approach is, I'm not a usability expert :-(
