The whole incoming connection/accept thing should be handled inside bluetooth-applet. And as I mentioned the gnome-user-share dependency chain of the distros is crazy. As long as it drags Apache + WebDAV into my desktop, I am against it. > Would you accept a patch to add a --enable-gnome to configure to hide > those settings away when bluez-gnome is compiled for use in the GNOME > desktop? Or would you prefer a run-time option? I prefer if you use the GConf values that bluez-gnome uses and move all Bluetooth related interaction into bluetooth-applet instead of hacking it into some other applications and bloat the dependencies. If you really wanna shrink the settings of bluetooth-properties, we can do that at runtime with a GConf setting. I have no problem with that. I am against compile time options.
