Assume that's true. Net based clients shouldn't ignore a network problem without notice, then print garbage. If changing between Imperial and Metric requires a bandwidth, then whenever there's no bandwidth, (whatever the cause, a busy network, a DOS attack, etc.), an error message should explain that the connection failed. NB: on 7/15/06 I noted that when 'ppp' was offline, (no outside IP), X4WP behaved correctly for a client; there was no garbage data and it had a tooltip saying "cannot update weather data". The question of offline vs. online is settled. Rather this bug occurs when an existing connection is too busy. _______________________________________________ Pkg-xfce-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-xfce-devel
