Weather applet crashes very often

Weather indicator crashes often.

In order to collect some information I have launched it from console and shortly afterwards this is what I see:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've been having the same problem: random crashes every few hours. Here's the output from my terminal (I think it's related).

Having the same problem. Can't we set this to confirmed since multiple users are affected?

Running 12.10 x64 bit, it always crashes, when adding a city.
