bluetooth-applet is not automatically started on login

[Steve Langasek]

In oneiric, bluetooth-applet was not started for me automatically on my latest login. This means that to get access to the bluetooth menu, I had to start bluetooth-applet by hand - a real pain! This should be started by default like it used to be.

thank you for your bug report, this indicator has been deprecated in oneiric, the session indicator now has a bluetooth entry opening the control center dialog which is the way to interact with bluetooth devices

in fact it seems it's not but the autostart issue should be fixed in current oneiric

[Bernhard (b.a.koenig)]

Why not do it like this: remember if bluetooth was switched on or off at logout and switch on/off accordingly after next boot.

This would solve the autostart issue, since bluetooth is no longer in the autostart menu, people not using bluetooth would not have to switch it off every single startup.
