Ok, could you please set it to at least 10 minutes (at least now for
testing, to not refresh to fast, and then blocking, example,
whatismyip.org will block requests, if they are to frequent in 60s
interval)? Also after installing new version of giplet, please try to do:
 - Remove ~/.giplet if it still around (not needed but clean up)
 - Remove the applet from panel
 - Re-add it to panel

today or tomorrow directly to upstream author.
