Nate,

I finally found what I was looking for in

/etc/gconf/gconf.xml/defaults/schemas/apps/gweather/prefs/%gconf.xml

In that file I changed the following values from the Locations file:

        KPIT -> KBLV
        PAZ021 -> ILZ101
        pit -> stl

This location might change in later gnome-applet versions. It still
crashes when I click on Preferences, but who cares?
