I've now tried with gnome-session-3.10.1, gnome-maps-3.10.2 and geoclue-2.1.8 and still get the error:

Gjs-Message: JS LOG: Failed to connect to GeoClue2 service: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: 'DesktopId' property must be set

What sets  'DesktopId' - is it gnome-session or something else? Is it possible to manually set it? Is it set and this is a permissions error?
