Bug Description

Binary package hint: bluez-gnome

The bluetooth preferences 'trusted device' icon looks exactly like an 'information' icon (ie the white 'i' in a blue circle), which is confusing, particularly as there is no easily accessible textual help in the preferences to tell you what you are doing.

Possible fixes could be: (a) change the icon to something else (perhaps something like a white tick inside a green or blue circle?), and/or (b) include a tool tip on mouse-hover that tells you what the icon represents.

Latest versions where this happens:

Ubuntu 9.04
bluez 4.30-0ubuntu1
bluez-gnome 1.8-0ubuntu2

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.
