This shows me the plugin in panel after reboot

The plugin settings are lost after a reboot.This happens not always, but often. I have to reconfigure the plugin after a reboot.I have the cache files in the directory /home/user/.cache/xfce4/weather/, but the plugin shows in panel "no data". I can provide logs, but I can't find anything about weather plugin. I don't use desktop manager. Xfce starts from console manually.

debian testing, linux kernel 4.2.0-1-amd64, xfce 4.12 from repository.

I don't save session before poweroff.

I can confirm. this bug occurs sometimes. Applet shows "No Data", and all settings are lost. I have found a workaround for restoring settings:

once you configured weather plugin go to ~/.config/xfce4/panel/, find file  weather-*.rc and copy it to weather-*.rc.fix in the same directory. Now create а script:

-------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

cfgdir="~/.config/xfce4/panel"

bckfile=`ls $cfgdir/weather*.rc.fix`
cfgfile=${bckfile%.*}

cp $bckfile $cfgfile 
pid=`ps -ef | grep -m 1 libweather.so | awk '{print $2}'`
kill $pid
-------------------------------------------------

this script will restore your settings and relaunch weather plugin. You can execute it from desktop launcher when plugin shows "No Data".
