I've added the -p flag to wifid startup parameters to disable power management (and iwconfig reports it's off), but it still disconnects. This only seems to affect the power savings in normal, non-suspended state.

Yes, that's my preferred way of launching the script. And also the reason why I had to add "sleep 1; eips -g $FILE" - the KUAL launcher tends to overlay the image at times

I've figured fetching the image every minute is inefficient - the weather is updated once every 2 hours or so! There is also a limit on how many times they allow you to call the API (daily), currently at 500 which means the cronjob can be set to run every 3 minutes at your server.
