The problem appears to be the avalanche of trusted prompts that will be triggered on the first search on an aggregator that talks to a bunch of child scopes. This creates an OOBE that truly sucks.

Rather than have five or more prompts in a row, would it be possible, the first time an aggregator that needs location info gets a search, to trigger a *single* dialog that is nice and friendly? Something along the lines of "The following scopes have requested access to location information: Scope1, scope2, scope3. Do you want to permit this? You can change these settings at any time in system settings, or click here to do this now."

At least this would stop popping a while series of prompts.

Also, for some scopes that we "trust", would it be possible to have them installed with permission already enabled? I don't know whether there is such a thing as a "trusted click package". But, if we could do this, we would avoid the trusted prompt for at least some of the scopes.
