Thanks John. As I mentioned before, the problems seem to be something amiss in libdbusmenu -- either the problem is there, or libdbusmenu is not checking for a problem condition for which it should be checking. It's quite likely that just a few lines of programming code need to be changed -- it's identifying the exact lines and how they need to be changed that's the kicker. :)
For what it's worth, if you edit the file /home/jack/.config/autostart /indicator-weather.desktop and change this line: Exec=indicator-weather to this (include the double quotes): Exec=bash -c "while true; do indicator-weather; done" and then logoff and back on, then at least the weather indicator should restart itself immediately after each crash. I have done so for the time being and this workaround seems to work fine. For what it's worth, this is called putting a "shell wrapper" around the program (albeit a very simple one). Just in case you're not sure how to edit the file, just run the following from either a terminal session or by first pressing Alt-F2 to run a command: gedit /home/jack/.config/autostart/indicator-weather.desktop Last, for completeness, I've attached a copy of my indicator- weather.desktop file modified in this way, for your reference, or you could just download it and copy it to the /home/jack/.config/autostart directory (overwriting the one you presently have). Again, the change in this file won't take effect until you log off and back on.
