Xfce has only one weather application, the panel plugin. You can put
it on any panel, so if you want a side bar, create a new panel on the
side. If this is not what you are looking for, have a look at a site
like freshmeat.net.

And for the last time, stop posting to the wrong mailing lists. All
lists ending in -dev are _development_ lists. Unless you plan on
writing your own Xfce program, or improving existing ones, do not use
the -dev lists, use the regular ones. I myself will not reply to any
messages sent to the wrong lists any more, it really is not that
complicated.
