I've been using xfce4, and It's great. But the one thing I can't get working is the Weather applet. I've tried using where I am (Rochester, NY), and a few other known places (Buffalo, San Diego), and I still can't get it to update. I've also tried the auto-proxy option, and still nothing. I've never had any problems with things like this before, never needed to use proxies, No ports blocked by my ISP. Any ideas?

I had the same problem with xfce 4.2. It had nothing to do with proxy or network.

In my case (because i had removed everything from xfce4 in my homedirectory) i just had ~/.config/xfce4.

Then i had to create ~/.xfce4 and the weather-plugin was working again. You can see , that he stores his data within this directory.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much!
This issue was driving me mad for some time now
and now everything is back to normal again.
