Bug Description
At the moment, the only way to set HIDD_ENABLED=1 in /etc/default/
If we want to provide a good end-user bluetooth management, the Bluetooth Preferences Gui in Gnome pannel /System/Preferences should be more complete. We need too to have the possibility to create internet connection via bluetooth with a Gui. This is not only used by geeks, a lot of consultants use that to stay connected when moving from office.
Can we imagine that the Gnome Bluetooth applet can work like the "Network Manager" : left-clic on it would show the list of peripherals, right clic provides access to preferences, and selecting a device in the list would launch a separate window with the list of service and the possibility to configure what the user wants to use in a easy way ?? (or something like that...)

It may be too late to have that kind of tool/gui for feisty+1, but it would be great to think about it. Command lines and text file edit for configuration are not a good way to think the use of bluetooth. And having just a Bluetooth icon close to the date, but can not do anything with it, that is too limited
