Title:
disabling "show temperature" and "show weather" doesn't stop weather
from showing up in the location list
Status in Desktop panel for GNOME:
Confirmed
Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
I never asked for a weather service on my desktop. I just want a
clock.
I've turned off 'show weather' and 'show temperature' in the
preferences; but if I left-click on the time, my locations are still
shown with a weather icon next to them. This means that gnome-panel
is connecting to the network somewhere to pull down weather
information, without my permission! If this clock applet is going to
be the default, there needs to be an option to disable weather updates
by the GNOME panel; for users with limited bandwidth, these
unrequested weather updates are a potential DoS, not to mention being
an information leak.
