Bug Description

I decided to start using GNOME Weather Report, so I added it to my panel. However, I found out that although it included many small locations, towns, and even villages in Greece, it didn't include Ioannina, one of the 5 bigger cities in Greece (and as you probably supposed, my hometown). So, I decided to add my own, custom entry for it, at /usr/share/gnome-applets/gweather/Locations.xml so I can be aware of the weather conditions in my location. In the "Greece" element, I added (keeping alphabetical order) the "location" element, with name "Ioannina", English name "Ioannina", and Greek name "Ιωάννινα". I added the city code, "LGIO" and the coordinates. I saved, and then I selected it through the GNOME Weather Report interface. But, it couldn't find any information, it couldn't update, so, it didn't display me the current weather conditions. So, please, either add Ioannina to the GNOME Weather Report, or see why it couldn't find any information. Thanks a lot, in advance.
