Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I never asked for a weather service on my desktop. I just want a clock.
I've turned off 'show weather' and 'show temperature' in the
preferences; but if I left-click on the time, my locations are still
shown with a weather icon next to them. This means that gnome-panel is
connecting to the network somewhere to pull down weather information,
without my permission! If this clock applet is going to be the default,
there needs to be an option to disable weather updates by the GNOME
panel; for users with limited bandwidth, these unrequested weather
updates are a potential DoS, not to mention being an information leak.
** Affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New

disabling "show temperature" and "show weather" doesn't stop weather from
showing up in the location list
