[ic] Component controls not appearing in page editor

I am attempting to place a custom component on one of my pages. (The
component's headers follow.) When i put the component into a slot, its name
appears in the correct place; however, the component has like 6 controls,
and none of them appear in the editor where i can set them. The controls
usually appear for other components, and to me the header information looks
very much alike, but
The most frustrating part is that once in a great while, the controls
actually DO appear. I'd love to be able to use controls on my components,
but can't if i can't rely on being able to set them. :P
The biggest difference i notice between the stock components and the one i
made, is the 'db: ^@' line. That doesn't look good...but removing the line
didn't seem to help much. Perhaps if i removed it and then ditched the
session...?
<..pause while testing this theory..>
Hrm. The controls are there now in netscape, but not in IE. Probably a
session thing. Anyway, why do they break, and how can i keep them from
breaking again?
As promised: these are the custom component's headers, as generated by the
component editor.
