indicator-applet prevents to display peripherals in bluetooth applet

[Baptiste Mille-Mathias]

Binary package hint: indicator-applet

Normally the bluetooth applet diplays a submenu for each know peripheral, but with the indicator the peripherals menu is empty.

The duplicate seems to be more or less related to the same issue, except that other menu entries disappeared after a set of disable / enable blutooth actions.

I have been able to reliably recreate the issue following these steps.

. Select Turn off Bluetooth.
. Select Turn on Bluetooth
    . Device is missing
. in terminal killall bluetooth-applet
    . Icon disappears
. in terminal (or run dialogue) run bluetooth-applet
    . Icon reappears with devices listed

My device is an SX-905 headset.
