Bug Description

using version:
kweather 4:4.1.1-0ubuntu2
plasmoid-weather 0.4-0ubuntu2

Problems :

- kweather cannot be added as a plasmoid, it doesn't appear in the plasmoid list.

- plasmoid-weather can be added to the task bar, but text becomes unreadable.
  - there is no option to change text size, fonts, etc.

- clicking on plasmoid-weather does not show a weather report (should it?)

- when entering a location code, there seems to be absolutely no change in weather data.

- how do you find location codes? which is the correct format?

- there doesn't seem to be a way to choose a location code from a list.

Steps to reproduce:

1 - install kweather or kdetoys: both provide kweather, but none add a plasmoid in plasma's "Add" list
2 - install plasmoid-weather
3 - right click on task bar, select add plasmoid to panel
4 - select weather plasmoid: the plasmoid is added, but unreadble/unusable.

How can we use the plasmoïd in countries other than the US ?
For my town, in france, the code is LFRS. it is not a zip code !
it is an ICAO code.
I switch to kde4 only when this will work.
What about the logs like in kweather !
These two problems are important.
I'll stay in kde3 until this work or I'll switch to another desktop.

I agree kweather is unusable in kde4, it even does not appear in kontact summary now (see Bug #172436)

In my previous comment, I talked about plasma-widget-weather, it is currently working for me.
But kweather is still unusable, it appears in the archive, it has KDE4 version, currently 4.2.1-0ubuntu1 in jaunty, how it has KDE4 version if it is not a KDE4 program? If it is a KDE4 program, it cannot be used, so there is a bug. And if it is not usable in KDE4, it should be removed from the archive in jaunty or future versions.
