Simple Recommendation

[Jonathan Caldwell]

Team,

I'm a computer/linux veteran, but I have a very simple to implement
suggestion that might avoid a frustration I ran into.

I spent two days thinking my bluetooth was broken in ubuntu because I could
not get my mouse/keyboard attached. I finally broke down and configured it
manually the first time, but after revisiting it and actually reading the
instructions (yea, i don't do that too often), I found nothing was broken I
just never actually "clicked" or "highlighted" the "Input Serices" under
"Bluetooth Preferances" in gnome-bluetooth.

My simple suggestion, would be to add the text "(Click to add)"; with the
parenths/without the quotes; right next to the text "Available services".
This might make it immediatly apparent for people that think like I do (I
asked a couple people while I was working on it, and they did the same thing
I did).

Another thing that might work is to have it automatically highlight the
first one in the list, or to have the "Add" button showing but greyed out,
or something like that... but I was trying to keep the change simple so no
one has to spend alot of time on it. (next time someone's near that text,
adding it could save some people alot of time spent passing over it).

My 2-cents... btw, Thanks for all your great work!
