@inoki -- can you attach the contents of /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf??

I have also had this problem since upgrading, and I think it's related
to Geoclue's whitelisting. The redshift package should be editing
/etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf to add a stanza like these:

[redshift]
allowed=true
system=false
users=

[gtk-redshift]
allowed=true
system=false
users=


With this in /etc/geoclue/geoclue.conf, Redshift gets a location on startup and works correctly.

Bug description:
  Since switching to oneiric redshift won't start.  It is listed as a
  startup application and these lines are present in .xsession-error
  from it:

      Unable to get location from provider.
      Started Geoclue provider `Geoclue Master'.
     Using provider `geoclue'.

  There is also no process in a ps listing.  If I start it from the
  command prompt then it starts just fine often with substantially
  similar messages.
