Yes, the Inactive Screens list is populated directly from the
weather-ui.xml file.  The file is used in the weatherSetup.cpp file,
in the ScreenSetup::loadData function:

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mythweather/mythweather/weatherSetup.cpp#L391

On line 458, the code checks the XML for the 'container' keyword,
which defines the different Inactive Screen types.

http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/browser/trunk/mythplugins/mythweather/mythweather/weatherSetup.cpp#L458

Since you said you did a fresh install (new database,
re-downloaded/re-compiled myth), I'm not sure what could be wrong...
