GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 334317
Weather applet suffers from the on-demand networking
Last modified: 2006-03-12 22:58:12 UTC
I use on-demand networking via NetworkManager. This often means that the network connection is only established upon starting an X session by a user. (For the curious, this is because access to a wireless network can be on the per-user, and not the per-computer policy) This setup seems to confuse the gweather applet. If it fails to find the network at startup, the display shows the 'undefined' state indefinitely, unless manually refreshed. It may be the preferred operation mode but FWIW I'd expect that the applet would be able to work despite this issue. Many programs do, so I guess this request is reasonable.
