White-clear dots where they shouldn't be

Lately, whenever I install a new Linux client (hobbit 4.20 with allinone patch - server the same), I get white dots (which eventually go to clear dots) for "files", "msgs", "ports" and "procs". Usually I have procs defined in hobbit-clients.cfg and I change permissions on /var/log/messages. Hobbitd-client on server is running with "--no-clear-files --no-clear-ports --no-clear-msgs". I also don't get the "client data" link. This didn't use to happen. So, I'm confused. Anyone else get this?
