Sorry about the regression, I really thought the functionality was just
stripped out.

I didn't mean that in a 'caps means aggresive' way .. i always assumed there
was a special 'REGRESSION' filter, because a lot of bug reports concerning
regressions start like that.

But the bug report is very valid though.

I played with the weather thing for at least 10 minutes and couldn't find a
way to get the weather working again.

Now that you mention there is supposed to be autocompletition .. yes, i
found something nearby .. and when I select that, the weather works. (i
guess when you use autocompletition the weathercode is filled into some
invisible form element)

It did take a while to find something though, because i had to try typing
every town nearby to find which one is in the auto-completition list..

So, the problems with this setup:

1) There is no indication that there is auto-completition that will fill in
the coordinates
2) Auto-completition means you have to try all towns nearby (it would be
smarter to reverse the order to [country], [town]
3) I assume weather only works when you use auto-completition .. so, just
typing your town's name might be problematic.

I may not be an elite hacker, but I'm not Ms. Simpleton either, and if I had
troubles figuring this out and making the clock applet display the weather
.. then millions will have those same issues as well.

Also, in the past, i'm not sure if this was unique to dutch localisation,
but it defaulted to 'Utrecht/Soesterberg' in Holland; as in select Dutch as
installation language and that would be the default.

Now, i'm pretty sure, most new users won't even realize the clock applet is
capable of displaying the weather.
