[Bug 36392] weather applet gives incorrect "updating..." feedback.

[Lex Hider]

Public bug reported:
https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/36392

Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
steps to reproduce:
add the weather-applet to the panel.
display will be: "?--"
tooltip on hover will be: "Updating..."

Hitting "update" from context menu does nothing.
Hitting "details" from context menu shows that my city is: "DEFAULT_LOCATION"

It appears that is not updating at all. It's just like that default
until you go to preferences and set your location.

I am suggesting two possible fixes. Perhaps the easy way to approach it
would be to implement (A) until (B) can be implemented.

POSSIBLE FIXES:
(A) When the weather applet is added to the panel, the preferences dialog automatically comes up with the Location tab selected.

(B) Use the information on location obtained from the installer to set
the location. This is existing bug: 9015

Now that I think about it, (A) might be better due to the likelihood of
finer detail in location info in weather applet vs timezone?
