Bug Description

I just installed indicator-weather from software center. However after doing so I was unsure how to start it. I searched in the dash for the weather applet but nothing was there. I clicked on empty space in the panel but nothing happened. I had to log out and in again in order for it to work, but that wasn't intuitive.

The applet should go into the panel as soon as the program is installed, or software-center should explain that a logout/login is required before it works.

I suppose, we can't start indicator immideately - as we can't get details which user is installing the indicator. So each user has to add the indicator in autostart explicitely - as in multi-user environment other users might not want to use this applet

No, you've misunderstood the bug. The indicator does go into the panel automatically, but it doesn't do so until a logout/login. As I said in the originally bug report, that wasn't explained during the installation and it was difficult to figure it out. The applet should go into the panel as soon as the program is installed, or software-center should explain that a logout/login is required before it works.
