Description Allan Day 2014-03-17 09:30:29 UTC 
Testing 3.11.x on Fedora rawhide:

 * I turned "Location" off in the system status menu.
 * When I launched Clocks, the crosshairs icon appeared in the top bar.

What I expected:

 * The crosshairs not to appear when Clocks is launched (because it has been disabled).

I don't think so. The crosshair is currently shown when geoclue reports its in use and currently its just based on whether or not there is any clients connected to geoclue. This needs to be fixed in geoclue.
