MDV 2006 and Gdesklets


Good afternoon;

I have just installed all the packages related to gdesklets which are provided for MDV 2006.
Now, when I launch one desklet named "weather-full", it runs, but all the paremeters shown are "Retrieval Failed".
Clicking in "Configure desklet" one of te fields under "Advanced" category is "Direct URL".
I suppose ehat here I must put the URL which I going to get the data from, but the field is empty blank. Could anyone tell me how to get this beautiful desklet running??

Thank you very much in advance.

best regards

Looking at this page (http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/ca..._subcat_view=4) it seems that they use weather.yahoo.com to get the info:

Just go to weather.yahoo.com, search for your location, and copy the URL of your page.
