What is the meaning of the isSticky and isPersistable attributes on the view element? Seems the default is true for both. (see ?showsource=1 )

In the tag at the top of the view you can just put the following attribute:

isSticky="false"
and that will turn off all sticky persistence for the entire view. So the TimeRangePicker as well as a couple other modules like the Count module and the Segmentation module, will no longer remember any previous selections.

isPersistable is a little different in that it governs whether saved searches and saved reports should get saved with a snapshot of the current view's viewstate.

Note that if you're coming to the view on any kind of permalink where there's a q=search foo, or sid=123121452, or s=some_saved_search in the URL, the TimeRangePicker will always set itself to that search's timerange no matter what.
