Reluctant to touch the Description just now?! %-)

I've just spent an hour debugging my gweather applet on my debian testing system and finally found the solution here. Thanks for the info but please oh please don't just leave this at an addition to the README and maybe the Description. 

Gweather literally depends on libgnomevfs2-extra to function at all! Please make it a dependency of the gnome-applets package and let apt/package management take care of this issue for all users of Debian.

Thanks and regards,
Pete
