Bug Description

Binary package hint: xfce4-weather-plugin

Is seems that Xfce weather plugin stopped working for no reason few days ago.
I am using Xubuntu Hardy/8.04 LTS amd64(x86_64)

Accidentally, there is some kind of `explanation` on Xfce forum that author of plugin changed something remotely
that resulted in disabling xfce4 panel plugin working state in all plugin versions except newest one (???)
http://forum.xfce.org/index.php?topic=5117.msg18185#msg18185
They are suggesting all users to update to newest version for plugin to function (??)
I sounds to me pretty much unreasonable to disable plugin working in stable editions `just like that` by the authors of plugin.
Maybe plugin stopped working for some other reason, like, wheather service is was using not there anymore, etc?
If that, it would need patching or truely an update to work again in our LTS release.. ?

Test packages are available in my ppa for hardy (https://launchpad.net/~mrpouit/+archive/ppa/+files/xfce4-weather-plugin_0.6.2-1ubuntu1.2~test1_i386.deb for i386 and https://launchpad.net/~mrpouit/+archive/ppa/+files/xfce4-weather-plugin_0.6.2-1ubuntu1.2~test1_amd64.deb for amd64). Could you test and report?

If it works I'll upload to hardy/intrepid/jaunty-proposed.

Thanks.

Tested in Xubuntu Hardy 8.04.3 for i386. Working great now; did have to remove the existing plugin from the panel and the use "Add to panel... " to add it again.

Thank you very much.

Tested in Ubuntu 8.04.3 for x86-64, and it works fine there. I had to log out and back in again to activate the updated code. (I thought I'd try that since Charlie Kravetz reported trying removing and re-adding the applet to the panel. Apparently either approach works.)
