This file doesn't exist in recent builds. There is, however, a /usr/share/gnome-applets/gweather/Locations.xml file. Adding locations to this file appears to be significantly more complex, requiring the user to spell a location in dozens of different languages with non-ascii character sets, and knowing the latitude and longitude of the location. (not to mention that the customizations would be lost on every OS upgrade) Note to whomever maintains gweather-applet-2: This design seems suboptimal to me. Rather than hard-coding every location on the planet into an XML file, wouldn't it be simpler to provide an interface in the tool to allow the user to search locations on the site providing the data? -Seb
