fso bug/oddity

dbus is getting flodded by org.freedesktop.Gypsy.Time.TimeChanged, org.freedesktop.Gypsy.Satellite.SatellitesChanged and org.freedesktop.Gypsy.Time.TimeChanged signals. But GPS is off. I think neither of the events makes sense in this case and wastes cycles. Probably not good for battery life.
