about providers shutdown

[Emanuele Leomanni]

I will try to explain better:
   when I run my application for the first time it will start geoclue-gpsd
provider automatically. Then everything is ok, I can use my application
properly.
When I close my program I have noticed that geoclue-gpsd remains alive (as
expected).
Then, if I try to restart my application again I have this problem:

Using provider 'Gpsd'
Error getting position: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include:
the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy
blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was
broken.

But, if I kill geoclue-gpsd and I restart my application everything is ok.
