Summary - in 9.04 I can't find the config file that gnome is using for the weather applet, I wonder if someone knows which and where it is?
I live in a regional town in Australia (Newcastle), with an airport with an online weather station (YWLM). I like to use that station for my weather applet instead of Sydney, which is 150k away.
Newcastle has never been big enough to be included in the default pick list. I can cope with that, so long as I can get access to the config file and add it. For ubuntu 7.10 that was Locations.xml under /usr/share/gnome-applets/gweather. In 8.10 it was in /usr/share/libgweather.
With 9.04 I can't find the file that gnome is using, and having indavertently selected a new station I've lost my local weather monitor - I can't get it either in the standalone gnome weather applet or in the one built into the clock.
I've have my custom Locations.xml in
/usr/share/gnome-applets/gweather
/usr/share/libweather
and also
usr/share/evolution(something I've forgotten)
which are the only places I can find a native copy, to no effect. I'm presuming the new version of gnome is getting it's info from a new file, does anyone know where? I've tried google and some general gnome sites, no joy.
I know I could use conky but since all I want is the weather I'm hoping for a simple answer.
