redshift does not get complete response from geoclue on initial startup/query

[Clint Byrum]

In ubuntu 12.10 beta2, I try to start redshift and get this:

$ redshift
Started Geoclue provider `Geoclue Master'.
Using provider `geoclue'.

** (process:19970): WARNING **: Could not get location, 3 retries left.

** (process:19970): WARNING **: Could not get location, 2 retries left.

** (process:19970): WARNING **: Could not get location, 1 retries left.

** (process:19970): WARNING **: Provider does not have a valid location available.
Unable to get location from provider.

##
This repeats over and over. But, if I kill geoclue-master:

$ redshift
Started Geoclue provider `Geoclue Master'.
Using provider `geoclue'.
According to the geoclue provider we're at: 34.07, -118.35
Using method `randr'.
^C

I have done some debugging, and latitude actually comes back (34.07) but not longitude, it stays at 0.

During this time, geoclue-test-gui works fine, so I imagine this is only in the non-async calls.

Sorry no Jonathan, this is not a duplicate of that. I've done some deep internal debugging. This is the case where geoclue *is* up, but is giving back only half of a response. They're related, no doubt, but not the same.
