Hi,

Reading Mark Shuttleworth's post about application indicators in
Ubuntu made me think:
http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/347

An app indicator for GeoClue (well, for location in general) would
make sense. It could then contain a menu allowing a few activities:

* Starting/stopping master provider
* Starting/stopping individual providers ("Stop GPS")
* Updating manual location status
* Viewing user's current location
* Viewing location of user's contacts (via Empathy and Gwibber?)

Potentially it could also show what applications are currently using
location information, as that might help with privacy concerns. But do
we have that info available?
