[Bug 407962] Re: gnome-bluetooth confused about on/off state of bluetooth

[Steve White]

Hi, this is Ubuntu 12.10.

I have NEVER seen the bluetooth applet properly indicate that the radio was turned off in hardware, through
several versions of Ubuntu, on any of several machines on which I use Bluetooth.

PLEASE FIX THIS:  it would be so cool to have a nice clear visual
indication that Bluetooth *should* be working.

A moment ago, I turned off the hardware radios, and ran
     rfkill list
to see that the radios were indeed off.

The Bluetooth applet merrily informed me that bluetooth was working and the machine was visible.
My otheer devices could no longer see it though.

ALSO I would propose to make a graphical distinction between being off in hardware and in software: 
If it's off in harware, put a cross over or line through the icon.
