Bug Description

Swiping to the flickr scope yields a confusing dialog.

Build: 20141006
Clean install (--wipe)

What you expected to happen
If flickr/a scope wants to access my location, I expected to be asked that

What happened instead
I was asked if an unconfined app could use my location.
"unconfined
An unconfined applications wants to access your current location
[deny] [allow]"

Tested on krillin image #109 14.09-proposed. It also affects the music scope, that is one of the first things new users will find.
This should be high or critical because it affects the first boot experience.

The fix for this bug has been released some time ago. Wonder why it was bumped to high for the UX?

The importance and status were changed so that the corresponding designer can review the bug/implementation.
Otherwise the bug will always remain as "new" for ubuntu-ux. This way we can make sure not to loose track of it or comment here if there are any other outstanding issues.
