oh??? maybe I'm sorta mistaken then... I thought there was a pin sticking out on the big chain ring next to the crank. That pin is there to keep you from jamming the chain between the big chain ring and the crank.
so wouldn it be possible to just "release" the front deraillure onto the smallest chain ring and wouldn't that make/cause it to pop back on??
crinkling up my nose and confused,

I don't have a front derailleur on my bike. She's only got 5 gears. It happened when I changed down to the smallest rear cog - I pushed the lever a little bit too far (friction change) and the chain got trapped between the little cog and the frame.
Discovered that the deodorising wipes I carry are great for getting oil off my hands
There are a lot of unwanted, unloved bikes out there - go on give a bike a good home
