It also makes the properties application simpler since it doesn't have to check for HAL at all. It simply only sets a GConf value and applet acts depending on this value. > > > - Don't show the notification bubble when switching the bluetooth device > > > on/off, and we're only showing the icon if a device is present.

Good idea. Was actually to lazy to do it by myself. Then we can also change the wording to discoverable/non-discoverable.
