Hey, consider using GeoClue instead of direct GPS. That way apps can
get position information even when GPS is not available...

# TODO: Get the GeoClue interface to use from
/schemas/apps/geoclue/position/defaultpath
# and /schemas/apps/geoclue/position/defaultservice GConf keys
proxy_obj = bus.get_object('org.foinse_project.geoclue.position.hostip',
'/org/foinse_project/geoclue/position/hostip')
geoclue_iface = dbus.Interface(proxy_obj, 'org.foinse_project.geoclue.position')

# Get the coordinates from the service
coordinates = geoclue_iface.current_position()

Simple, isn't it? :-)

GeoClue is being considered as a default part of the GNOME Mobile and
Embedded stack, so supporting it instead of direct gpsd would make
sense.
