I now understand that the issue I had was not a bug. The showing up of wrong 
time zones in the dialog is a bug, but not related to the weather issue, at 
least not on my system.
I was assuming that libgweather does some sort of interpolation between known 
weather stations, using the given coordinates. That is not the case. In fact, 
changing the coordinates has no effect on the weather, not even the day/night 
symbols. So the error was, I had not chosen a weather station from the list, 
just typed in the coordinates, which resulted in not having any weather. So 
just choose a suitable site from the list and adjust name and coordinates 
afterwards, then it works.
But I still think the applet should at least find the nearest weather station 
on its own, or even better, interpolate between the nearest ones. Also, the 
day/night switching of the symbols should absolutely depend on the coordinates.
