Problems using the geoclue master client.

[Leenata Bankhele]

Hi ,

@When I run "position-example" for Gypsy it works fine and I see
position change notifications. But the master provider seems not to work.

 -- Try changing GEOCLUE_PROVIDER (priv->address) to GEOCLUE_PROVIDER
(priv->position) in gc_master_provider_get_provider() in master provider.c
+125
See if this works for you.

@I need to manually invoke the gypsy-daemon right?

-- Geoclue documentation says this is required for older version of DBus.

@It seems like the main advantage of using geoclue as the front-end to gypsy
is the ability to use the master provider.

-- master provider will choose the right provider from the available one's
based on your  set requirements API.

Regards,
Leenata Bankhele.
