Mac OS X Dashboard Web Clips

What the heck? How can it possibly be that broken???

For some time now I excessively used Mac OS X (Safari) Dashboard Web Clips, for most part to blend in various server loads. While in theory a nice thing: this stuff just does not work quite right!!! On one day or another (usually after the Mac slept the night) some stupid Web Clips just won’t refresh anymore, showing old, previous day content. While so far I usually just have removed and re-added it in this case, today I thought I’d rather reboot in the hope it would refresh and appear right. Wrong!
