Re: [Resolved] bluetooth applet

Iirc, its gnome-bluetooth-applet. So add a line into your autostart.sh:

(sleep 5 && gnome-bluetooth-applet) &

I'll check when I get home if this is wrong, I just started configuring bluetooth at home yesterday but I didn't get round to finishing the setup.

Nope, just a standard tray application.

Oh, and the app name is "bluetooth-applet" and it's in bluez-gnome

125145 <Crunchie> #! Search of 'bluetooth-applet' (1): (/usr/bin/bluetooth-applet,
                  /etc/xdg/autostart/bluetooth-applet.desktop) in gnome/bluez-gnome.

Re: [Resolved] bluetooth applet

Yes thats, accordingly, the "old way" to do things and you should be doing it with gnome-user-share which has the stupid dependency of Apache2 roll

Works good enough for me, infact, it's the only method that works with my N95.
