On UbuntuMATE 20.04, after logging out, the login session remains in
state 'closing', blocked by the /usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/agent
process.
The loginctl command shows accumulating sessions.
loginctl session-status <session-name> shows:

Title:
geoclue agent process persists after user logout
Status in geoclue-2.0 package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
This concerns geoclue-2.0 2.5.6-0ubuntu1 in Ubuntu focal.
I am using the Xfce desktop. When a user logs in, a
/usr/libexec/geoclue-2.0/demos/agent process is started.
However, when the user logs out, and the associated "systemd --user"
instance is killed, the geoclue process remains---apparently because
it is running outside of the process group in which all the other
session-related processes were in.
Not only does this prevent the process from being cleaned up
correctly, if the user logs in again, *another* geoclue process starts
up. And when they log out, and everything else gets cleaned up...
*two* useless geoclue processes remain. Repeat ad infinitum.
