Active clock-applet necessary?
Hi!
I was wondering if it was possible to modify Redshift's dependency on the clock-applet in such a way that no active applet is necessary.
Redshift reads its location-settings from gconf. So, wouldn't it suffice for a user to set the geolocation once via the clock-applet so that it gets stored in gconf? After that, the applet itself is meaningless for Redshift anyway.
I'm asking because I'm using a dock (Docky & AWN) and I no longer require the classical gnome-panel clock-applet. I'd love to use Redshift, but it's strict dependency on an ACTIVE clock-applet stops me from doing so.
Docks are quite popular these days & replacing the gnome-clock-applet is quite a common action. Therefore, I'd love to see a solution for this problem.
Another way of fixing this issue would be to use a geo-location service for the user's current IP (Firefox has one built in, there's plenty on the net). This way, Redshift could also adept to a user's actual location & not just the one that is currently set as "Home" in the gnome-clock. A successful IP geo-location could simply override the predefined setting. This way, offline users won't be left out.
