Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-applets

If you set up a location in the gnome clock applet it will give you your current weather. It will not give you your forecast like the weather applet does.

I know devs may say this is what the weather applet is for, but I think it would be convenient if you could merge the weather applet functionality into the clock locations weather. I am sure there are people like me who not only need to track the current weather of a variety of places, but also the forecast and this clock applet is the ideal place for this.

Wish: When you click on the clock and the list of locations with current weather pops up there is a button that says forecast. When you click it the forecast is displayed.

AFAICT the clock applet is part of the gnome-panel package rather than gnome-applets (check with dpkg -S /usr/lib/gnome-panel/libclock-applet.so).

The previous URL pointed to a gnome-panel bug, not a gnome-applets bug. I added gnome-panel as affected.
