That is fantastic! I dreamed that someone sometime will make it and
you've done it! Thank you very much!
If nobody has any objections then I'll push your code into master
GIT sometime later. :)
For future extension of this it would be nice to have a forecast in
right-click menu but even without forecast weather plugin is useful very
much.

Since translation system is still down, I think it's OK to put the
translation directly into GIT for now. I'll add Russian and Ukrainian
translations as well after it's pushed.

Probably that's appropriate. Though may be it would be better to have
it in the place where lxpanel saves other configuration instead.

I believe it should be self-explanatory. I'll try to build it a bit
later and test it.

Is it possible to show the temperature too? And that setting should
be configurable I believe (show icon / show temp. / show both).

I think users will report bugs into bugtracker instead of mailing
list so better just look there time to time after.
With best wishes.
