I think the forecast retrieval always needs to be done either in a separate thread or with non-blocking calls (if that works -- I don't know how network programming really works, maybe there is another way). We don't want the panel to freeze for a few seconds just because the network is slow! If you want to simulate a crappy internet connection, try the attached script and the parameters therein. :) Also, I don't see anything blocking the inclusion of this into lxpanel. libxml2 is, if I see correctly, already an LXDE dependency (via gvfs -> libfm -> pcmanfm).
