Or maybe they don't? I just can't make them work properly. Is it true, that if I want a decal turned 90 deg, or a different size, I have to change the texture that it's attached to? Well, what if I don't want that? If I want the decal turned on a brick wall?

Sometimes when I put the decal NEAR the edge of a brush, it jumps to the adjacent brush. Sometimes they won't stick at all. What it this?! Is there an easier way to use them? Maybe sticking them to a blue func_wall and them move'm around? R_speeds up. How do you do it?

Yeah, they do suck. It's true that you have to rotate the texture they're applied to, as well.

I have exactly the same application problems as you described. Try selecting them in a map that's the tiniest bit complicated - it's hell!

In software mode, decals behave the same way as the face underneath them. In open gl this does not apply -- wierd, but you have to live with it
