Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

Installing the package gnome-user-share by default would solve this problem. I think in 2010 this it's reasonable for a new user to assume that a modern operating system would have support for receiving files through Bluetooth without hassle.

My bad, gnome-user-share is installed by default already. File receiving had to be enabled in Bluetooth Preferences.

Would it be a security hazard to enable receiving from paired devices by default?
