> I stopped using the Dashboard weather widget when I realized it was giving me the weather for Minneapolis, Kansas, because it was ignoring the state part of the location, and Kansas comes before Minnesota alphabetically.

Huh, that's odd—it's absolutely programmed to look at city and state individually. I had to interface with that code in my version.

When I type Minneapolis into my version, it correctly displays both cities (alongside Minneapolis, NC) the drop-down, and lets me choose between them. I would have expected the original to do the same thing, but I obviously can't check now.
