Bug#530349: gweather-applet-2: Frequently crashes since recent upgrade

[Ben Finney]

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.24.3.1-2+b1
Severity: normal

Unfortunately I don't know enough about what has changed to diagnose
in detail, but:

After a recent upgrade (in Debian “squeeze”), the ‘gweather-applet-2’
program intermittently crashes with a dialogue message “"Weather
Report" has quit unexpectedly” and an offer to reload.

Reloading the applet causes it to run again successfully, but it
continues to crash intermittently with the same message.

The crashing is, in my case, several times per hour on average.

If there is more I can do to pinpoint the problem, please let me know.
