Ken, the reason for this change was that if the "scale factor" was not
setup properly, the glyphs would end up going crazy. e.g.
+ Open can.ex2, all variables, apply
+ Apply "Glyph" with everything default, except "Scale Mode" changed
to "vector".
+ Now step forward 1 timestep, it will render insanely large glyphs.

That's oversight. I updated the panel to not be a custom panel and
forgot missed this enable/disable aspect. Mind adding a bug for that?
Should be easy to fix.
BTW, this version has new modes for seeding glyphs. The old version is
still accessible as "Legacy Glyph", in case you want to do a
comparison between the two.
