Also, this happens to demonstrate a bug in bluez, since it doesn't appear to follow the settings in /etc/bluetooth/main.conf; where the "rule" for the hostname is set. The values are simply ignored and we should fix that. Seems to me like a pretty simple thing to fix too, if someone wants to hack at bluez :)
So, kind of Triaged for gnome-bluetooth, since it's pretty clear what we're missing is some kind of hostnamed helper for the hostname, which will also affect the bluetooth device name. See https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ gnome-control- center/ +bug/962369
