Offline support / Mobile tether support

[Karl Morrison]

My internet at home is sometimes retarded forcing me to tether via my dear phone. Redshift doesn't seem to be able to pick up gps coordinates from it which causes Reshift not to start.

karl@karl-laptop:~/www/busaramanode/dist$ redshift
Trying location provider `geoclue'...
Started Geoclue provider `Geoclue Master'.
Using provider `geoclue'.
Could not get location (3 retries left): Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken..
Unable to get location from provider.

Could Redshift eaither 1) support offline mode automatically or 2) support tethering.
