#7 suddenly disabled

[Anonymous]

Hi there,
I'm jmd8q@virginia.edu

at random times, but usually within a 2-3 hour span of time,
GeekTool suddenly stops working. It disappears completely from the
desktop. When I open the pref pane, "Enable Geektool" is deselected.

Enabling it there makes everything work again, for another 2-3
hours.

This has happened for several versions since the day I installed it.

Here's what the console says
Connect Timed Out!

I have experienced the exact same problem. 2-3 hours is a very good
estimate for how long it takes before disabling itself. Going into the
preference pane and re-enabling it fixes it every time, but it's horribly
annoying.
