Oh yea, that is fine. We can come up with a nice small plus-button image
that we can stick on gtkhtml stuff if the sidebar is to use a html view.

Does gweather have something we could use? Also weather.noaa.gov
contains weather reports and forecasts for all the airports in the world
that publish weather reports, that list could be pretty OK.

they should fit well into the new look. They can basically be like they
are right now.
