Bug Description

If you haven't set a location in Gnome, and you start gtk-redshift, the program silently quits, without any indication of why, except in ~/.xsession-errors.

If you start it on the command-line, it tells you:

  No city selected as current city.
  Initialization of gnome-clock failed.
  Trying next provider...
  Latitude and longitude must be set.

Would it make sense for the GUI-version to display an error message in a GUI-window before giving up?

This is not so easy to implement with the current model, but maybe later.
