Bug Description
Binary package hint: docky
I use a laptop which might connect to various access points and the default behaviour of NetworkManager is to have the remembered connections be available only to the user who created the connection in the first place. This just means that a WAN connection is negotiated during GNOME startup, about the same time Docky lanuches as well.
OK, circumstances described. The problem is the Weather applet which never updates / "hangs". The icon is constantly the update animation and the tool tip says Fetching data. The applet also causes significant load, from the graph I'd say it's about 20% of CPU time.
This behaviour is different from the state when there is no WAN connection and network resolution failures occur.
