Thanks for providing a workaround.  BTW: this is nicely done in
weatherdotcom block:

/* Disable block if not configured. */
if (!empty($GLOBALS['conf']['weatherdotcom']['partner_id']) &&
    !empty($GLOBALS['conf']['weatherdotcom']['license_key'])) {
    $block_name = _("weather.com");
}

Perhaps something similar can be done for the fortune and the metar
