Bug Description
Currently the Bluetooth pairing handler is implemented in the Bluetooth plugin of the system-settings app. This has the side effect that devices can only be paired when the system settings are open and in foreground. Instead, those pairing handlers should be implemented in a service that keeps running in the background.

Thanks, is pairing something done often enough that it requires a service? Having more service means more power usage when idle. How are other platforms handle that (trying on a s3 android phone it seems you need to be in settings to pair as well).
Once the device has been paired and is known/trusted bluez should allows pairing without UI, so it's a "first time use" thing only right?
