Comment 3 for bug 930538

I do believe this is rather an issue of the desktop manager than of bt-autoconnect. There was considerable changes in the way windows are handled. That's why we couldn't maximize in 11.10 (where it still is fine in 11.04). This should be fixed by now. User switching still has issues that can not so easily be overcome and may be the cause of your issues. Sorry to say that in that case I have no clue where to look for.

If you installed the application via the Debian package it will also display a launcher icon. You can then always maximize it from there in case the panel Indicator is not responsive.

The time value is the interval in seconds the application looks up whether the device at a given MAC is alive. The shorter this time the faster a connection can be established but more of your CPU will be wasted. It is rather empirical, 4s being a reasonable time with my hardware. Setting the time too short could result in unwanted side effects from delays inherent to Bluez and Pulseaudio. There is no reason why you should not try out different values until you are happy.

Dont hesitate to give me ideas for any further improvements.
