@deffn {Scheme Procedure} geoclue-application name [#:allowed? #t] [#:system? #f] [#:users '()]
Return an configuration allowing an application to access GeoClue
location data. @var{name} is the Desktop ID of the application, without
the @code{.desktop} part. If @var{allowed?} is true, the application
will have access to location information by default. The boolean
@var{system?} value indicates that an application is a system component
or not. Finally @var{users} is a list of UIDs of all users for which
this application is allowed location info access. An empty users list
means that all users are allowed.
@end deffn
@defvr {Scheme Variable} %standard-geoclue-applications
The standard list of well-known GeoClue application configurations,
granting authority to GNOME's date-and-time utility to ask for the
current location in order to set the time zone, and allowing the Firefox
(IceCat) and Epiphany web browsers to request location information.
Firefox and Epiphany both query the user before allowing a web page to
know the user's location.

Return a service that runs the GeoClue location service. This service
provides a D-Bus interface to allow applications to request access to a
user's physical location, and optionally to add information to online
location databases. See
@uref{https://wiki.freedesktop.org/www/Software/GeoClue/, the GeoClue
web site} for more information.
