Bug Description

Binary package hint: indicator-weather

Happened after a reboot, on Natty. It worked for a few days before that.

note that i see in the log:

 2011-02-23 08:36:37,788 - INFO - Another instance of this program is already running

which is improbable, as it's a fresh session (reboot at 8:35)
