Re: redshift and geoclue not working together

I have encountered and solved this problem on a Debian system, and
posting the solution in the hopes that it’s useful to someone dealing
with the same problem.

Apparently you don’t need to fiddle with geoclue-service configuration,
as the user apps can’t connect to the service directly.  Instead, you
need a steward process that handles the connection within the user
session.  I think for Gnome and Gnome-like desktop, it’s gnome-shell
that does this, but the executable ‘geoclue-2.0/demos/agent’ can do it
for you for your non-Gnome desktops.  You want it to run in the
background.

I haven’t tested this on a GuixSD system yet, and if there’s any
differences, I’ll report it here.

Best,

        -gk.
