More and more your work is revealing that we'll eventually need to
tackle this issue head on, and implement proper opacity support in the
3d renderer. Everything else is going to be just a hack which won't
work in all circumstances. I'd suggest not spending much more time on
this issue given this (current) inherent limitation.

I looked over your branch, and it seems the issue is in saving and
restoring the symbol, not the retrieval of the symbol from the button.
Is that correct?
