[PATCH v2] Improved handling of latitude and longitude.

[Dirk Hohndel]

Linus just pointed one more thing out that it took a lot of tinkering to
get right in the Gtk version:

The coordinates field needs to have a flag associated with it that
tracks whether the coordinates were hand edited or autocompleted.

Think about this scenario:

user enters Location: Paris and edits the coordinates.
next he goes back and types a previous location name ("Shark Condos,
Lanaii, HI"). The coordinates SHOULD NOT change, as they were explicitly
entered.
Now if the user clears the coordinates and once again goes back to the
location and picks "Shark Condos, Lanaii, HI" for the location, THEN the
coordinates should be autofilled.
If the user then picks a different location "Wreck Treck, West Palm
Beach, FL", the coordinates should update as well, as the last
coordinates weren't hand entered buy came from an autocompletion.

Makes sense?
