How do you turn off Zhelm's effect?

I remember someone dressing up as a hobo with CS clothing, then his Zhelm was "broken" because there's a few flies instead of the shining effect xD

And whatever happened to the code that caused the Zhelm effect to only turn on whenever you're standing around doing nothing? (and doing any other physical action causes it to go away)

Like other 'set' effects (eg. the Tania wings) it shows up all the time. It's only the separate effect items that go away when you move.
