You can add it to the task bar as an applet without using kontact.

I can hover the mouse over the local airports temp and humidity line in
the gkrellm panel and get a popup that in that shows me what I want to
know, profiled to the existing weather, and which tells me all that as
its seen 18 miles north of me. FWIW, I have never set kontact up to do
anything for me, so if its interlocked with that, that could be one
explanation. OTOH, none of those names show up in the trinity control
center either.
So where is it? Before I run completely out of hair. :)
Thanks.
