I found out that Dimmer removes its cdev resource.  Someone posted a fix,
which was to replace 6314 with 6014.  I used ResEdit, and found 6314 in
the resource Init main at the bottom of the second page in the right column.
I just replaced the 3 with a 0 and saved the file (I did it for an original 
copy of the program which included the cdev resource).  Now Dimmer seems to 
work fine and it does not remove its cdev resource any more.
I hope this helps.
