I don't often use xfce, but you got me curious.

Are you talking about the xfce4-weather-plugin?  I installed that in both F17 
and F18 and added it to the panel.  In both cases, it automatically found what 
it thought was my location and gave me weather.

However, in both cases if I try to change the location it goes to 
"searching..." no matter what I enter and never returns anything....even if I 
use a very common city such as New York.....
