shell says I'm in airplane mode when I'm not

[Jonathan Kamens]

My desktop has wired ethernet and I keep Bluetooth disabled when I'm not using it for security reasons. Because of this the shell decides I'm in "Airplane mode" and highlights the button in the system tray menu and sticks the airplane mode icon in the system tray. Even if I turn "airplane mode" back on it turns itself back on when I restart the shell.

I'm not in "airplane mode" just because no wireless controllers are currently in use. I'm in "airplane mode" when I tell the shell I want to be in "airplane mode". Yes, absolutely, if I turn airplane mode on and then subsequently turn wifi or bluetooth back on manually, airplane mode should automatically shut off. But the opposite — automatically turning *on* airplane mode whenever no wireless controllers are active — simply should not be the case.
