Bug Description

Binary package hint: bluez-gnome

The buttons on the GUI have no label, and the meaning of the icons is not really understandable, especially the star and the plug I'm attaching a screenshot).
I suggest adding the label on each button

I was just about to report this.

There should at least be tooltips added for the buttons.

To this day I have no idea what the little star means...

I was about to report this for Ubuntu 9.04 alpha 5, and I find it was a problem in 8.10? I'd consider it a design/usability issue that is simple to fix. Please add labels and/or hover hints!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Karmic Koala. It won't be fixed in previous versions of Ubuntu because the package doesn't fit the requirements for backporting. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports for more information.

Could you at least explain what the weird looking icon means?
