Bug Description

The location icon is shown and looks the same regardless of whether I disable location from the menu. As is it offers no useful indication. It should be hidden when location is disabled.

Note that this bug does not occur in "Gnome Shell on Wayland", which I think will be the default eventually. The problem seems to arise from a difference in the privacy settings between the Xorg and Wayland backends (unity-control-center vs gnome-control-center).

summary: - Location icon is always shown in the top right corner
+ Location icon is always shown in the top right corner when using Gnome
+ Shell on Xorg
