Aha. So I hit the SET button, finally figured out that it wanted my
password, not root's, and it replaced the SET button with a home icon.
Now weather displays fine. In retrospect, it's clear what's going on--I
had wondered how the applet knew what weather to display.
It would be nice if it were at least clearer what was being set by that
button and what privileges were needed to set whatever it is.
