Bug Description

I have redshift-gtk configured to launch on login. It shows the attached dialog about "Access to the current location was denied by GeoClue!".

The first time I launched it by hand _after_ login after upgrading to 18.10, I was prompted to allow it to have location access, which I approved.

Now when i launch it by hand _after_ login it launches just fine. It's just the launch at login that continues to fail every time i log in.
