Hi all,

Trying desperately not to rant but am very frustrated by this.

I made the mistake of adding the Weather applet to a toolbar and now I
can't turn it off (tcpdump shows it phoning home).

Right click the applet and unclick Update.  No go.  Updates anyway.  OK.
 Remove applet from toolbar.  No go.  Updates anyway.

OK.  Logout/Login.  Still insists on updating.

I never reboot.  OK, reboot.  Still calling home to NOAA.  What???

Can't figure out the name of the program that the applet calls so I
can't manually destroy the pestilence.  This apparently is not something
considered worth noting in the Help/About links and is certainly not
available from the Add to Panel function.

Where is it registered and how in the !#@$ do I kill it?

Second question is how do we learn the names of the programs that are
invoked by these applets?  If I can't learn the name how do I yum
update/remove short of rm -rf /?

This is with Weather Report 2.24.3.1 (/usr/bin/you'll never find me,
Copper ;) on f10.

I think that this is part of the gnome-applets rpm, specifically, gweather.

I'm not sure what the executable name is, but it must be something
with gweather or GWeather in the name.  Perhaps it's

  /usr/libexec/gweather-applet-2

Also,

  find / -iname \*gweather\*

should find all of its files.
