Here's the problem right here. The Dijit form elements all use the
DijitElement decorator as their base decorator. This is because the
dijit view helpers have a different signature than other form view
helpers (in order to accomodate a separation between dijit parameters
and HTML attributes). Using setElementDecorators() on a mixture of
Zend_Form and Zend_Dojo_Form elements is going to be problematic as a
result.
