Look for /etc/init.d/bluetooth. The rpm is bluez-utils.
Yes, I have it. And the bluetooth service is started on boot. But it is not enough. Without the additional hidd service I have to pair the mouse each time I boot, which is really annoying. :)
With FC6 and F7 the hidd startup script was part of the bluez-utils packages and it has mysteríously vanished in F8.
