Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth
os: ubuntu 10.04 64 bits
package: gnome-bluetooth 2.30.0-0ubuntu3
I've modified /etc/bluetooth/
Now, at start up, the bluetooth indicator in the indicator-applet shows me "Bluetooth: On" and the option "Turn off Bluetooth" even if the bluetooth is off. By the way, the bluetooth indicator behaves correctly graphically, being grey.
Clicking on "Turn off Bluetooth" obviously does nothing, except to change the text in "Bluetooth: Off" and the option in "Turn on Bluetooth" (which is the correct option in this case, the bluetooth being off).
At this point the bluetooth indicator's behavior returns to normality: clicking again on "Turn on Bluetooth" turns on the bluetooth and the indicator switches consistently to the on-state (the indicator is white, "Bluetooth: On", "Turn off Bluetooth"), clicking once again on "Turn off the Bluetooth" turns off the bluetooth and the indicator switches consistently to the off-state...etc.
The whole problem shows also using "hciconfig hci0 down" instead of modifying /etc/bluetooth/
(Sorry for my bad english. I'm Italian. I hope you can understand the report)

The real issue here is that there is no GUI option/setting to have bluetooth turned off at startup. I think many users [especially laptop users] do not like to have bluetooth turned on every time the computer boots due to its power usage. This is why this user had the need to configure it manually and it is clear that bluetooth applet is not at all setup for this type of configuration...
