Bluetooth icon doesn't show up

[Daniel Milde]

Binary package hint: bluez-gnome

In Jaynty the Bluetooth icon in notification area isn't shown up even thought "always show icon" option is set.

Hello,

do you have the notification applet installed on your panel, this is mandatory to see it.
if yes, could you do the following command in a terminal :
"killall bluetooth-applet" (to kill the existing applet)
"bluetooth-applet"
and tell me if after the second command a error message is issued.

thanks

Yes, notification applet is installed and added to panel.

There was no bluetooth-applet running.

After "bluetooth-applet" the icon finally show up.

So the problem is very simple (and I'm shame that I haven't find out): bluetooth-applet isn't starting on login, which cound be confusing.

In the bluetooth management should be some information, that bluetooth-applet is not started, or checkbox to enable/disable start.
