I am running Intrepid 8.10 (installed as alpha 4 but has all updates applied as of today). I have manual proxy set in the system preferences network proxy settings. This works for Firefox and the synaptic package manager and system update but the weather applet seems to be a ignoring the manual proxy setting. A minor bug I know but it means I can't get the weather reports at work :-(. I ran a wireshark trace and see it is trying to connect direct and the coy firewall is therefore blocking the connection. Version of the applet installed is 2.23.92. I did find a sort of a workaround as the Firefox web browser has an add-on called Forecfast fox but it would be nice to have the gnome applet working.
