  What's wrong with having them time out eventually?  I have to say that I 
have 256 mb of ram right now and between debug build of kde running only kst, 
konsole and kwhatsbroken, and huge leaks in my X server, I'm running into 
swap.  Having KWeatherService running is quite painful and it makes a 
difference when I kill it.  I imagine in must be much worse for those with 
128mb.
