For me they'd just be one more thing to carry about as I simply use a few thin finishing brads under the crown to support the moldings. The small holes are easily patched during the painting/caulking process.

As shown in the picture you'd need to slide it to the right -- unless you're hanging upside down from the ceiling for some reason. I found a post in the this old house forum that says the crown molding in this picture is upside down too. http://advice.thisoldhouse.com/showthread.php?t=1689&page=2 Jason you are correct.
