Thanks a lot rasmarc for this update! I also had the feeling the widget was eating my battery for a bit, so nice to see this update coming out.

Sorry for not responding sooner btw, I was away for a while, and then my N900 got bricked (e.g. wouldn't startup anymore) by an update so I had to flash and reinstall everything. Am now running your widget v. 1.5-0 for a while, and I haven't seen the weird bug of the SSH-icon 'flashing' in the tray area for a while now.

Thanks for all the hard work
