Beats what I had before.
So yawp is working, but lcd-weather is not? That's weird. Not what I'd have predicted at all, since I /thought/ the weather-parsing infrastructure was in a lib common to both. Maybe I was wrong? You mention that it sticks to the far right corner... of what? A panel, or a desktop activity, or ??? FWIW, here, I have (my multiple instances of) yawp on the desktop, in a separate activity that contains all them and my comic-strip plasmoid. That way I can spread them out as I wish, and switch to my weather and comics activity to view them, without cluttering up my mostly clear normal desktop. Anyway, I have no problems getting yawp to go where I want it on the desktop. I tried yawp in a panel quite some kde versions ago and decided I didn't like it there so much. IIRC it was because in a panel, it would only show a limited amount of info, I think due to the space constraints. But that was some time ago and I really don't know how it behaves in a panel any more. But that reminds me... I DO have some issues with the comic-strip plasmoid. It seems I can't set any new comics, only the old ones, as any new ones don't update. I somehow got the impression at some point (IDR how), that certain plasmoids use $TMPDIR for storing their update file, then try to RENAME (NOT move or copy, RENAME) to the final location. Since my $TMPDIR is on tmpfs (with the user's tmpdir symlinked into it from its default location in ~/tmp), that doesn't work so well, as renames across filesystems simply doesn't work (while moves or copies and then deletes, would work). But I would have /thought/ that would have been fixed quite some versions ago, and had forgotten about it. But now I'm wondering if that's the root problem behind both your broken LCD-weather and my broken ability to add new comics to comic-strip. I'm headed in to work a Christmas Eve close, but I have tomorrow off. Maybe I'll play around with tmpdir a bit tomorrow, and see if it makes a difference. Reminder: Backup your plasma-destop-appletsrc file before you do any serious playing around with plasma. It could save you some trouble if something goes wrong. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
