Agreed that a GUI shouldn't be necessary and using gconf means any application can write it. I can imagine the calendar writing it out during the day (and it also has my valid-until). Valid-until should probably be optional > In practice it looks like this: > Geoclue statusbar applet menu > http://koti.welho.com/jkukkone/geoclue/status-menu.png > Dialog for manual input. A rough draft, but you'll get the point.

And then a separate app (a front-end) is the dialog you wrote? In the US we'll also need State - for example "Springfield, US" has some 34 possibilities. > > Any comments?
