[Bug 831488] Re: Xubuntu should not call gnome-control-center

[Tgreat Snizolli]

Please reopen this issue. Using Blueman is not an option in my and I
suspect many others' cases. In my specific use case tethering a phone as
a bluetooth DUN modem succeeds in Blueman however the modem never is
made available in NetworkManager. Attempts to connect to the DIal up
service via Blueman state success, however no connection is made.

Using gnome-bluetooh (after installing gnome-control-center, which is
not desired) has no problem connecting to the Bluetooth DUN and
providing proper networking.

While this may be a problem with Blueman the end result is that either
users use the broken Blueman package (which does not provide full bt
functionality) or must install gnome-control-center due to dependencies,
and gnome-cc is no longer installed.

Please let me know if this should be a separate bug report. However until Blueman is fixed gnome-bluetooth (or working equivalent) should be installed and available.
