Bug Description

When you swipe down from top to get to indicators pannel, select the location tab, if you touch the "location detection" and "GPS" check boxes to disable location detection and GPS I should expect the location indicator to dissapear from the top bar, instead it remains there even if location and GPS are disabled.

Hi Carla,

That's for the suggestion. It's a nice idea, especially since it mirrors how the bluetooth indicator should be behaving.

However... ;)

What /should/ be happening is spelled out at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Location: the indicator should be visible only if an app has accessed the user's location in the last five minutes. The current implementation (always visible) differs from that because UbuntuApplicationLocationService doesn't support the last-five-minutes notification feature yet. It's my understanding that tvoss has that planned for the 14.04 cycle.

In other words, whatever we do for 13.10 is a short-term solution until the last-five-minutes feature is ready for indicator-location-service to use.

Changed in indicator-location:
