June 1, 2013, Ubuntu 13.04.
I have set up apport to notify every time Weather Indicator crashes - and it
still does, sometimes more than once a day.
With Doug's workaround, it re-starts immediately, so the only problem now is
the nuisance of having to check the crash report to verify it's

Works fine, Doug!
I now have a crash in /var/crash and an 'indicator -weather' running. The
workaround may not be the perfect fix, but it sure suits me.
And it's entirely possible you've provided a hint which could lead to a
permanent fix - not a bad day's work!

Hey, Doug, welcome to this mess. I had long ago decided I was all alone with
this nuisance!
If you check for other bugs in indicator-weather you'll find it has had and
still has a lot of problems. It seems also we no longer have Eliah Kagan to

I spoke too soon. After a week of solidarity, indicator-weather has

If you mean the card is too long for the space available, you're right.
If I try to shorten the card from the top, it simply slides further out of
sight at the bottom. If I try to shorten it from the bottom, the lower parts of
the card simply disappear altogether, and I could move it up until
It does.
If I'm careful to get the cursor in just the right spot I still see the thin
