I think I have the extra apps loaded for xfce, but the weather app searching for something near Schenectady NY just says "Searching" and does nothing visible. FC17 found a station on Libarty St, three blocks from me, which updates frequently. What did I forget to install?
I noticed that fc17 had libgweather installed, so I added it in case the dependency was missed. No change. So either the applet is broken or they are using a much smaller list, or it's broken. Before I submit a bug, I'll ask here if I'm just doing it wrong.
