confirming that ubuntu 10.10 on a dell latitude e6410 has this same problem.

bluetooth works great via the default applet, but when not using, would like to disable and have it persistent until i choose to enable it again. currently there are 2 options:

1. disable bluetooth in bios. [this only works for someone who *never* uses bluetooth]
2. disable every time system boots either manually, or via script. [this doesn't gel with ubuntu's "it should just work" policy]
