I have got a Personal Geodatabase with a feature class and several coded value domains. Domains are assigned to some of the attributes of said feature class. Domains are correctly defined and match the field's attribute types. The attribute values are within the defined domains.
Somehow the coded value descriptions are no longer displayed and instead I can see the 'raw' attribute values. Which, of course, I don't want to see.
How do I tell ArcMap/ArcCatalog to display the domain descriptions instead of attribute values?

Have you checked that the option in the Appearance dialog of the attribute table view doesn't have the option 'Display coded value domain and subtype descriptions' unchecked? Also, you won't be able to work with the domains if the dataset is open in ArcMap - and it won't tell you that is why. It just won't give you the option.
