Yes, I've had weird behavior out of the KDE weather applet over the last few days. I had to kill it and then remove it from the panel. You can kill it using top.

Thank you Ben, I killed the applet and deleted the setting file in /kde/share/config and re-add the applet, now it is working but still not updating accordingly? I also changed the permission to 775 for the weather setting file, no better :( Anyway, I am suspecting that the server is not updating?? will leave it there for a while before deciding whether to keep or kill it. Have a nice weekend :) Dennis
