I had a similar issue...I've got an Ubuntu 8 VM running hobbit-client
4.2.0. Over the weekend, the VM server was inadvertently rebooted,
resulting in the VM being restarted. I found that even though the hobbit
client was running, all of the items except for conn, info and trend were
purple. I restarted the hobbit-client process on the VM, and everything
went back to their normal states.
