I used to run it all the time, now I installed it and it just doesn't update no matter what zip I put in.

What weather source is it pulling from? They have a tendency to change.

You can get it working again by adding "&link=xoap" to the end of the definition for WEATHER_SOURCE in ~/.gdesklets/Sensors/GoodWeather/__init__.py and then restarting the desklet.

A little while after it stopped working I decided to find out why, so I figured out where the weather data was coming from and did some googling. I think it was a windows system tray app author who mentioned that the xoap parameter was now required. Then it was just a matter of finding where in the code the uri was being constructed, and add the appropriate bit.

By the way, if you change line 62 through 68 to your favourite options then you won't have to keep changing it if you need to remove and restart the desklet.
