Thanks for those replies, I've disabled the weather plugin for now.

I should have checked back through my list archives before posting I
guess - as well as the XFCE Bugzilla! It was late and I was tired,
that's my excuse ;) I'd been battling with a failed router causing a
lost internet connection and hassle trying to get my old unit configured
(mainly remember what IP address, and range, it was on and what the
password was!) and sort out the warranty on the broken one - the last
thing I needed was another problem.

Anyway, thanks again - oh, and my reason for using the Oscillation
archives is much the same as in the previous thread - I assumed they
were more up to date. I'll consider disabling them and sticking with the
Debian testing ones I think :)
