So, my confidence is now pretty high that this is due to a problem in libdbusmenu, or some misuse of it by either Python itself or a Python extension (but I tend to doubt it's the latter two).
So, not sure I can go much further with this right now. The next step I would take would be download the lib*-dbg versions of the relevant libraries and perhaps a dbg version of Python 4.7, and build a debug version of indicator-weather from source code, and then run the debug version of the indicator. Unfortunately, that's beyond what I have time for in the foreseeable future. Moreover, I imagine (and hope) there are developers much more familiar with the indicator API and libdbusmenu than I who are already better setup to do so. Thus, for now, I think I'm in "wait on the developers" mode on this, unless someone can point out flaws in my reasoning or suggesting something I can try in a reasonable amount of time. I will continue to submit all indicator-related crash reports, however. I suspect the core developers need this. Finally, @John: Thanks again for you help and your posts! One thing I would caution you against in the future, though: Although it has been very helpful to me, it's generally a "bad idea" to post crash reports publicly. To exchange them via email is one thing, but to have them where anyone can download them is potentially a huge risk. The crash report, and the core dump in particular, might contain very sensitive information, even cached, unencrypted passwords in RAM when the crash occurs (less likely these days, though, many developers know better than to do this). So, while likely little harm done, I thought I'd mention it, just FYI. By default, with apport enabled, crash reports sent to Launchpad are private and can only viewed by you and the developers with access to it (who you can see listed there). Thus, it's pretty safe to send in crash reports, just not a great idea to post them publicly. Happy Holidays!
