Hi Kai.

Thanks again, and very nice you found what you found.

The coolsolution information is not the KWeather version I run here. I 
can see, that it is older, a sit has it's ICAO searching placed in the 
first window.

I have saved and run the script from the other article, but there's 
something I cannot see.
Does the manually stop/start means, that he removed the KWeather applet 
from the panel ?.

Here's what the execution of the script did here:

./kweathertool
kbuildsycoca running...
Usage: kweatherreport [Qt-options] [KDE-options] location

Weather Report for KWeatherService

Generic options:
 --help                    Show help about options
 --help-qt                 Show Qt specific options
 --help-kde                Show KDE specific options
 --help-all                Show all options
 --author                  Show author information
 -v, --version             Show version information
 --license                 Show license information
 --                        End of option



What is the Qt-options and the KDE-options ?.

Think the "location" is the ICAO code ?
