Description Richard Bos 2004-01-10 12:27:18 UTC

Version:           0.7.3 (Beta 1) (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:          Linux

When I start kontact and select 'summary' no weather information is
shown.  When 'configure kontact' is selected 'kweather' is checked,
so I expect it to be there.  Looking around in kontact does not show
any possibility to configure the kweather plugin (this contradicts
somehow with bug http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70255, were is
stated the plugin can be configured....?).

Anyhow after I manually started 'kweatherreport EHAM' and restart kontact
the weather information is now shown in kontact's summary page.  If I
add a 2nd location (or invocation of kweatherreport) via kweatherreport on
the command line and restart kontact once again the 2 locations are both
shown in the summary view.

What is missing here to have the weather information shown automatically
in kontact??

I've seen this as well.  I usually add the kweather applet to kicker and then start kontact.

I'm wundering should one expect a kweather icon in the
sidebar (holding the icons to kmail, summary, knode, etc)?

Somehow one should be able to populate the weather location,
isn't it?

CVS commit by tokoe: 

Make KApplication::startServiceByDesktopName() working again.
That fixes also #72300.
