Bug#264293: gnome-applets: "Forecast" menu item is confusingly named

Package: gnome-applets
Version: 2.6.2-1
Severity: minor

The weather applet has a "Forecast" window with three tabs - "Current 
Conditions", "Forecast" and "Radar Map". If you click the applet and 
select the "Forecast" menu option, it opens the "Forecast" window on the 
"Current Conditions" tab which is not a forecast at all - I would expect
it to open on the "Forecast" tab.

I think the problem is the window title. "Forecast" as a title does not 
apply to the "Current Conditions" tab, and maybe not to the "Radar Map" 
tab (can't see, as it does not work for me), and is the same name as the 
middle tab.

I would suggest changing the window name to something like "Weather 
Reports" (or "Report") which seems to apply to each tab, and then either 
change the applet menu item to "Weather Reports" or have a menu item
for each tab.
