Unable to connect to GeoClue. Unable to get location from provider.

Unable to start redshift 1.11 on Fedora 23 since yesterday: ``` text $ redshift Trying location provider `geoclue2'... Using provider `geoclue2'. Unable to start GeoClue client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Geolocation disabled for UID 1000. Unable to connect to GeoClue. Unable to get location from provider. $ ``` This is similar to #158 but the _proper_ fix - having both `redshift.desktop` and `redshift-gtk.desktop` files - doesn't help any more. Indeed both files are available in Fedora since [#1309177](https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1214978) was closed: ``` text $ rpm -qf /usr/share/applications/redshift.desktop redshift-1.11-1.fc23.x86_64 $ rpm -qf /usr/share/applications/redshift-gtk.desktop redshift-gtk-1.11-1.fc23.x86_64 $ ``` Both alternative solutions work although they are supposed to be bad solutions: 1. Run as `sudo redshift-gtk` 2. Add to `/etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf`: ``` text [redshift] allowed=true system=false users= ```
