Expect the indicator to start when run, but it does not but gives the following error message:
/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gobject/constants.py:24: Warning: g_boxed_type_register_static: assertion `g_type_from_name (name) == 0' failed
  import gobject._gobject
Another instance of this program is already running

At some stage I assume the indicator crashed and left a file in /tmp called indicator-weather-500.pid. The log file ~/.cache/indicator-weather.log shows extra messages, just that another instances is running. I checked the process list and no instance was running. Once the .pid file had been deleted, the indicator started and ran as normal.
