This is also true for me (not even the applet shows up).

This sounds like two bugs... not turning off bluetooth, and not being able to add devices.
The add devices one may be this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+bug/423090
It was just fixed... but as comments at the bottom say, it's broken again (at least for me).
Not sure about the not turning off... right now I don't even have that option anymore. May be some other problem.

Hi,

since I installed Karmic my bluetooth dongles don't work anymore. I plug them in (only one at a time) and even after a sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth (re)start nothing happens.

Logitech dongle:

I have the same problem. The odd thing is, it was working for me until I started playing around with the blueman packages. After rebooting with blueman installed it stopped working. Now even after removing blueman, I still can't get it working.
