I think it's useless having an applet to do that, which exposes far too much technical information, when we don't even have a proper setup application. And the application indicators aren't in any distributions apart from Ubuntu right now, which severely reduces its target market. Let's walk before we can run, and have a decent setup application. _______________________________________________ GeoClue mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/geoclue
