hi,
with F12 the bluetooth applet has a new option: turn (on|off), which is a great thing to have. Considering that many laptop users have a bluetooth device, is there a gconf option or something to have it start turned off to save battery? We can alwasy turn it manually on if we need it.
I have been searching with the gconf-editor but couldn't find anything. Any hints appreciated.
to answer my own question, here is what I have done:
in /etc/rc.local I have included this line:
/sbin/rfkill block bluetooth
so the bluetooth sender is not active. I can turn it on from the bluetooth applet if I need it as a normal user.
