Bug#261406: gweather: metric units are not quite correct

[Adam Majer]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.6.2-1
Severity: normal
File: gweather

I know that in proper SI units, m/s is used to specify velocity. But no
one uses that anywhere (check your speedometer). Well, at least in 
most of the world. Please use km/h in that field. This is the biggest 
problem with the metric display. The other points below are just guidelines.


Pressure should not be in hPa, but in kPa (divide by 10), although 
weather.com uses milibars (mB or hPa).

Visibility, well, I guess that it is OK to have it in meters. I would
prefer km there (less digits), but it doesn't really matter.
