    Alternative configuration

• It works with both GPS co-ordinates and place/city names (searches for the nearest weather information in the database to the given location in a cca. 600km raduis, iirc) even for European cities.(using default settings – I didn't set up anything, just ran "weather <gps_co-ordinates_copied_from_google_maps>" in a terminal). Read the "weather" or "weather-util" manual page.

##How to stop Random Wallpaper, Compton (shadows) or Conky (gauges) at Startup.##

1. Go to menu > Preferences > Desktop Session Settings

   Alternate method if above doesn't work with the computer gods.
