Comment 2 for bug 598277

I'm seeing this bug too. On my desktop computer, redshift launches fine without any parameters (so it manages to get the info from my clock's timezone/city), but on my laptop it doesn't work:

"No city selected as currenty city.
Initialization of gnome-clock failed."

Both computers have the city/timezone set identically. I saw that the laptop has lots of old applets listed in gconf that aren't actually there.
