I'm not sure if I should post this in this section. Well, i hope admins will forgive me, .

I have installed Kweather since it seems there are no Debian packages of any useful weather applet of the many I've seen on Kde-look. Well, the matter is that I can't even find a way to launch Kweather, no menu entry,"command not found" in konsoles, nor any relatively recent enlightening info on the net.
Does anyone know if this misterious program serves for anything? I suppose nobody wastes its time for writing useless software, so I guess there must be a way to at least make Kweather run...

Thanks

Oh, I thought Kweather showed weather prevision for several days.
Well, I guess if nobody knows if this app's existence has any sense I'll remove it as well.
Thanks

There is a weather forecast plasmoid as well ( at least in Trunk ) which is capable of displaying 5 day weather forecasts, as well as some current conditions as well.

Is there a weather plasmoid in existence that can sit in my panel without taking up bucketloads of space? Kweather was great for that.

It works beautifully in the tray, displaying your current weather conditions as the icon in the tray ( or in my case a unavailable icon ) and popping up when clicked to display the full Plasmoid
