.SH APPLICATION CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
Having an entry here for an application with 
.B allowed=true
means that geoclue will not ask agent to authorize the application.
This is to ensure that system components and applications with
built-in authorization mechanism (e.g web browsers) do not have to
be bound to agents.
.PP
If your application is denied access to location information and your
operating system doesn't provide any mechanism to change that, it is
likely a bug in your operation system (or geoclue). The solution is to
report the issue with all details, rather than adding your application
to this list.
