Note that this error carries on in the mail. There is a master provider
for Geoclue that can make use of whatever providers are available, but
it's not in too good a shape.

I'd rather somebody started fixing the Geoclue master provider rather
than relying on a particular service, especially when the D-Bus API for
the providers themselves is something we don't want to support in the
longer term.
