[X4U] Non-US cities, countries in Weather Widget in Dashboard?

[John Bryan]

Thanks for the info.

What city, province did you use?     was that Canada??   Maybe it is  
only liking North American cities...

although I can't get that to work, either : Saskatoon, Saskatchewan

I'm trying  city, country :        Paris, France       Beijing,  
China     Changsha, China       Shenzhen, China     etc
or city, province : Changsha, Hunan (<-- province)    Beijing,  
Beijing       Shenzhen, Guangdong   etc
or city, province, country : Changsha, Hunan, China            
Shenzhen, Guangdong, China

click the Done button, it flips 'round, and they just never change  
from the default city.

It's connecting up apparently, because I can try Detroit, MI in one  
widget and one of the above in another and in a few secs I get  
Detroit, but the other one just stares back.
