[Feature Request] Forecast Cache #9

Especially laptop users (like me) often happen to have no internet connection available. In this cases the desklet currently displays an error message, which (personal speaking) hurts to look at. The Weather gadget from Windows Vista/7 seemed to download the forecast for the next 5 days, even though it only displayed the next three. The downloaded data were used as long as no internet connection was available. I would wish a similar feature, some function that caches the forecast and reads from this cache if it can't download the latest weather data.

I think this is a good idea. I will give it some thought when I have the time.
