** Description changed:

  In bluetooth preferences (system -> preferences -> bluetooth) there are
  three different "Mode of Operation" (obviously with bluetooth device
  enabled):
  
  - other devices can connect
  - visible and connectable for other devices
  - limited discoverable and connectable
  
  These options aren't well explained. What are they mean?
   
  - other devices can connect (when I select this option I can read from gnome notification area, txs to bluetooth gnome plugin, that the device is not discoverable, but I read this after selecting this option and then what does it mean that it's not discoverable? In which ways can I use it?)
  - visible and connectable for other devices (when I select this option I can read, from gnome notification area, txs to bluetooth gnome plugin, that now the device is discoverable, but always after selecting this option)
  - limited discoverable and connectable (when I select this option I can read from gnome notification area,  txs to bluetooth plugin, that the device is limited discoverable but I cannot understand what it means)
  
  Moreover there is not any bluetooth valid help through yelp command that
  explains this.
  
  So the fact is that:
  - the options should be, in a simple way, described directly in the bluetooth preferences GUI
  
  or
  
  - it should be available a good help menu directly from Bluetooth
- preferences?
+ preferences
