           Summary: weather-plugin does not adapt to new network
                    configuration

Build Identifier: 

the weather plugin seems to cache network configuration. I've start the plugin
on a network 192.168.0.0/24 with a DNS server 192.168.0.1. After suspending the
machine and waking up on a network 192.168.1.0./24 with a DNS server
192.168.1.1 the plugin still tries to reach the nameserver 192.168.0.1. A
restart of the plugin fixes it. so the network configuration is okay.

I found out about by tracing the process with strace.

Used xfce-weather-plugin 0.6.2-1 (Debian lenny)




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. start the plugin in network A, with local nameserver
2. suspend machine
3. wake up in another network B (different nameserver)


Actual Results:  
plugin does not reach the server for retrieving weather informationen

Expected Results:  
see information about the weather
