I could do that right from the beginning, when my T61 was brand new.

On the upside, the mass of the panel is large enough so it never
wiggles by itself.  Also, the hinges are quite stiff (the wriggling part
seems to be at the point where the hinge is attached to the main body,
not the part where the hinge is attached to the panel), which keeps the
LCD at the same angle.

IOW if I don't do the wiggling, I don't notice I can do it.
