Bug Description

I am running 12.10alpha. When I run "gtk-redshift" from the command line, the icon does not appear in the indicator panel, and the following output appears:

Started Geoclue provider `Geoclue Master'.
Using provider `geoclue'.
Could not get location (3 retries left): Geoclue master client has no usable Position providers.
Unable to get location from provider.

jawz101, gtk-redshift if just a gui that tries to run redshift. It will crash if you try to toggle redshift on because it cannot start redshift (you can see the specific error by just running redshift from the command line).
