Description Zeeshan Ali 2016-02-23 18:08:46 UTC 
Currently org.freedesktop.XdgApp.PermissionStore doesn't provide any API to monitor changes in app permissions. This would be nice to have in general anyway but more specifically we'll need it in gnome-shell for gnome/geolocation table to be able to notify apps that they can now/no longer access location when user changes the permissions through conrol-center.
Comment 1 Zeeshan Ali 2016-03-04 16:34:42 UTC 
Actually this is also very much needed by gnome-control-center (privacy panel) so that it always reflects the correct permissions for apps. Allan was surprised when he allowed gnome-clocks access to location but it didn't appear in the privacy panel until he restarted control-center.
Comment 2 Allan Day 2016-03-04 18:10:47 UTC 
It would be great to have this fixed. All the panels in the GNOME control center show behaviour in real time, so it would be rather surprising and inconsistent if location services was different.
Comment 3 Alexander Larsson 2016-03-07 08:40:04 UTC 
Yeah, that makes sense. I'll put it on the todo list for when i start looking at the sandboxing. I had hoped to already be working on this, but other things are getting in the way. But soon...
