Bug#647749: Interim fix proposed in the upstream bug report

[Marcelo Fiscella]

As it was already mentioned here and also in the upstream bug report, I understand that the ideal solution would be to switch providers. But unfortunately that's something that probably won't happen in the short term. In the upstream report it was suggested that the license key from ctw (an open source weather client currently unmaintained) could be used instead of the current one as an interim fix (see https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8105#c9). Since I'm not a DD, I don't know how many person-hours it would take to apply this trivial patch and upload an updated package to the repository. Therefore I can't tell whether the effort would be worth it or not. However, if this workaround could prevent having another broken or missing piece in Xfce, then maybe it's worth it, even if it's just a temporary fix and not a solution to the underlying issue. Best regards,
