Title:
  disabling "show temperature" and "show weather" doesn't stop weather
  from showing up in the location list

Status in Desktop panel for GNOME:
  Confirmed
Status in gnome-panel package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-panel

  I never asked for a weather service on my desktop.  I just want a
  clock.

  I've turned off 'show weather' and 'show temperature' in the
  preferences; but if I left-click on the time, my locations are still
  shown with a weather icon next to them.  This means that gnome-panel
  is connecting to the network somewhere to pull down weather
  information, without my permission!  If this clock applet is going to
  be the default, there needs to be an option to disable weather updates
  by the GNOME panel; for users with limited bandwidth, these
  unrequested weather updates are a potential DoS, not to mention being
  an information leak.
