Comment 4 for bug 146626

Very interesting!

1) My DB insert did work. I was attempting to check if they worked or not via the weather setup screen, which as noted is essentially non-responsive. Since I never really got a display I guess I assumed the settings didn't work, but I never actually tried the regular weather screen. I also wasn't expecting it to work as a previous trial had failed, but now I think that was a user error on my part to change the hostname from the VMware test machine to my previous "live" test machine.

2) I switched the paint engine to OpenGL. The weather setup screen is much faster than it was, but still *very* slow and I still don't think it's usable. I literally put a paper-weight on the Pg-Dn key several minutes ago and I' not even out of the "Car…" section yet. Oh, just hit "Cas…". The ESC key works at almost real time though, where with QT it would take minutes to even exit the screen and the PG-Dn trick did basically nothing.

Using QT works when *viewing* weather (which I'd neglected to try, ID10T error), but it takes about 3 times longer to bring up the page. Once it's up, flipping screens of the weather display seems to work about the same. The program guide seems a bit snappier under OpenGL as well, so I'll keep that for a while.

So, I have achieved my goal of setting the correct location for weather info. Having said that, I'm happy to keep poking around and trying things if you want to t-shoot some more.
