Comment 16 for bug 706353

Hi Miloš,
I am using Gnome 2.32.0-2.fc14 and metacity, with no other desktops installed. I do have compiz installed, but I don't use it.

As per your request: I tried removing the clock applet and re-added it and reconfigured the locale, with no change in redshifts' behavior.

http://jonls.dk/redshift/
provided an example to run at command line:
redshift -l 55.7:12.6 -t 5700:3600 -g 0.8 -m vidmode -v
This example works without using sudo.

http://jonls.dk/2010/10/redshift-1-6-released/
says there should be a config file. I could not find one anywhere on my installation, even with system and manual searches of the file system.
Supposedly redshift looks for “~/.config/redshift.conf” at startup, but adding this file (adjusted from the example at above URL) to my system (in my home folder and the root home folder) does not make the program work without sudo. I also tried creating redshift folders in .config and pasting the conf file in those, but no difference

Is there a config file somewhere else that I didn't find?
Just a thought: It would be best for travellers if the program always got it's info from the gnome clock, for ease of adjusting between locales.
Let me know if I can do anything more to help figure this out.
Happy Holidays!
