Okay, I used that and it seems to work fine. Thanks!

I toggled the DECORATE transformer on and off several times on the
desktop using "gimpLayout" which is a combination of several things
including "simpleTabbed". The decoration appeared stacked under the
tabs and on top of the window and went away again with no segfaults.
Maybe it was okay because the layout didn't otherwise change between
the time I toggled the decoration on and off?

Thank you!
