As of a few days ago, the solution (including symbols ^DJI and INDU) has
stopped working.  It is a bit over a year since this happened last time,
so I suspect Yahoo Finance once again has closed the feed.  [not like
the Dow Industrial Average isn't important]

Ubuntu needs to select a better stock ticker applet.
