Bug Description
* Impact
On some configs registration to the geoclue service might fail because the agent is started too late/after the registration timeout
* Test case
log into an Ubuntu/GNOME session and check that the geolocation feature is working (used to adjust the timezone for example)
- log into your Ubuntu/GNOME session
- go to gnome-control-
- reboot to gdm (without login in)
- go to a vt
- change the timezone to be not matching the actual location
- go back to gdm and log in
-> verify that the timezone get adjusted automatically to match your real location one
or from the original report
- install xubuntu
- install redshift and start it/configure it to change your screen profile/colors at night
- log into your xfce session at a time configured to color the screen red
-> the screen color should change according to the calibration
* Regression potential
The change is only to increase a timeout delay

Thank you for your bug report, that seems a candidate for a fix backport but could you describe with some extra details what version of Ubuntu you are using, what you are doing and what problem you hit? (you mentioned redshift, where do you use it and how?)
