I hate how Photoshop doesn't proportionately shrink the values of FX applied
to layers when changing the resolution of a document. For instance, if a
document is 300dpi and I lower it to 100, all FX values become 3 times too
large. A drop shadow that was 20px away from the source remains 20px away
from the source even after downsizing the resolution, making things skewed
proportionately.

Is there a way to avoid this problem, other than committing the FX before
changing the resolution?

That's silly that we have to approximate them that way. They should be
proportionately locked.

I mean, in what instance would ANYONE, EVER want the effects NOT to follow
proportionately when resizing a document? Who does this help, or serve?

Absolutely no one.

what I think you're looking for is to go to the Layer with the effects and
just r-click and choose "Scale Effects".

Funny, but it doesn't happen with CS3 Mac - at least for me!
