Bug#823790: mate-applets: Weather Report spams screen with notifications

[Hal Gentz]

Package: mate-applets
Version: 1.16.0-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I have also recently noticed the Weather Report applet spams the screen with notifications, from time to time.

This issue appears to be random. Lowing the update time from 30m to 1m 
has made the spam never happen. I then added around ~16 weather applets 
(from 2) each running at 1 update per minute and I've only seen the spam 
once. This leads me to think that their is some correlation between 
update speed and chance of spam.
