Title:
  Startup problems - wifi connections

Status in Indicator-Weather:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  The indicator-weather now starts on startup (only when you have an
  internet connection as the applet loads). This means if you are on a
  mobile device that takes 30seconds to connect to wifi the indicator-
  weather chooses not to show up and is killed. (It doesn't show up in
  system monitor). Running another instance with a connection fixes the
  problem but requires work from the user.

  One way to fix this would be to have a delay on the startup of
  indicator weather, this is not ideal as some users wont have a
  connection or even longer periods of time.

  A better solution would be instead of killing the applet having it
  check if there is an active internet connection, if not set a timer
  for ~5mins and trying again. This is also not ideal as you are wasting
  a few cpu cycles if you don't plan on having an internet connection
  for a computing session, but this is not much of an impact.
