clock applet does not support certain obvious locations

[samoanbiscuit]

1. Running Mint 10 32-bit GNOME edition.

2. The clock applet does not have Fiji (neither it's capital Suva, nor it's international airport town, Nadi) available in their locations list. This means that the timezone, weather and other information is not usable for a user in Fiji.

Although Fiji is a small obscure country, even smaller countries and territories such as Western Samoa are represented on this list. If someone could just point me in the direction of the providers of this service, I could contact them, or if it's some kind of editable list, I could manually add them myself.

This has been unavailable for several releases now, but I guess now the release is so good, a minor bug like this becomes very noticeable.

I confirm the issue

The project your are looking for is 'gnome-panel', not 'alarm-clock-applet' which is an entirely different application.

Accidentally I found the solution.
The applet cannot set the weather because it needs root privilege.

Add your city as usual, and close the window. Next left click at the clock, click at Locations and set as default your city. It will ask for admin password, and you're ready...
