Yes, I'm having problems with Dimmer also.  Without changing the colors,
I notice that there is about a 1 in 2 or 3 chance of getting the X'ed icon
on bootup.  If I access through the Control Panel, it complains about
a resource not being found and displays a blank control panel.

I now keep a second copy of Dimmer on disk and use it to make a good
copy of Dimmer to put in the System Folder should that one fail.  It's
a bit annoying, but at least it works.
