Me too.  I figure any property subject to change at any time by any 
script needs to be saved, set to what I need explicitly, then restored 
when I'm done.

Thanks for the reality check, since I couldn't find mention of when it 
changed either but felt (almost) certain I wasn't imagining that it had 
previously been different.

Now that I think about it a bit more I wonder if that change was 
concurrent with the change to how image paths are found, maybe somewhere 
in the v3.0 time frame....
