To be fair to Anselm (and most other developers) - this was just to isolate
the problem. You're the first person we're hearing about that has this
problem and we've been unable to recreate it. This is just natural
debugging. Sure, it sounds like a stupid, unrelated question, but sometimes
those are what trigger the right solutions.

And what-da-ya-know? It worked! At least the configuration jimmied
something. Perhaps some presentation variable was being stored in the
configuration. Perhaps there was "something else" going on when the
decorations disappeared in the first place... something that you may see the
next time it happens - if it ever happens.
