Hallo.
I am just curious, whether no chance to enable Bluetooth from the GNOME
Bluetooth is deliberate or not. I guess, that it is not deliberate.
How to reproduce:
1. apitest SetMode off
2. Run bluetooth-properties.
3. Mode selection is completely shaded out and there is no way to enable
Bluetooth.
Proposed change:
- Convert "Mode of operation" radio buttons to checkboxes.
- "Other devices can connect":
Will never be shaded out.
If it is off: Mode is off.
If it is on, than "Visible and connectable for other devices" is
unshaded.
- "Visible and connectable for other devices":
If it is unshaded and off: Mode is connectable
If it is unshaded and on: Mode is discoverable and "Make adapter
invisible after" is unshaded.
Is it more acceptable behavior?
Reference:
Bluetooth in GNOME does not work in default installation

the off operation doesn't make any real sense for desktop system. It is
mainly there for embedded systems without HAL or where the kernel driver
has to put the device into deep-sleep mode.
An integration with HAL's killswitch is the correct way.

This should optionally (ie. if HAL is available at compile and run-time)
use the new HAL API that allows to enable/disable builtin Bluetooth
devices completely (ie. not just not configured to accept anything, but
completely disabled, unplugged, and not consuming one bit of power).
The HAL API is pretty straight forward:
http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/hal-spec/hal-spec.html#device-properties-killswitch
and
http://people.freedesktop.org/~david/hal-spec/hal-spec.html#interface-device-killswitch
It's implemented for Sony and Dell laptops, with another opened RFE for
IBM laptops:
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10053
It should be dead-easy to implement for someone with access to an IBM
laptop (unlike me).
