Bug Description
Hello,
Since I upgrade to cosmic, Reshift always asks for access to my location and if I don't answer quickly, it crashes with an error (see attached screenshot).

I added this to /etc/geoclue/ geoclue. conf:
[redshift]
allowed=true
system=false
users=
And now Redshift does not need to ask for access anymore.
But I still consider this a workaround and I think:
* Redshift should wait for the user answer before crashing
* Geoclue should remember the user answer
