Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth
After upgrade to maverick, the bluetooth-applet no longer provides an
interface for controlling the bluetooth antenna. This means there is
*no* GUI option to toggle the bluetooth antenna; the only remaining
means to turn the antenna on and off are using a keyboard hotkey
(requires cycling power on my wireless antenna too to get to the right
state), the kill switch (turns off wifi which is not what I want), or
running 'sudo rfkill block bluetooth' from the commandline. This is a
significant UI regression vs. lucid.
Also, regardless of the setting of 'Show bluetooth icon' in the
preferences, the icon now disappears entirely when bluetooth is
disabled. That makes it kinda hard to reach the GUI to enable bluetooth
even if the option presented itself.
