I think that now GNOME and MATE should build an equivalent to XfApplet
in order to utilize xfce4-weather-plugin with their panels :-D

This way you have more educated people. In any case, developers should
be careful with such verbose design of applications that meant to be
efficient (such as LXDE and Xfce) in order to not to affect RAM usage
of devices and computers with lower resources.

Bottom line, what you have done is absolutely great.

I do not care.

Note: If all your measurement units are in accord with SI, and SI is
naming knots as knots then I guess that there is no need to write
anything other than knots. I could be wrong.
