Bug Description

Binary package hint: bluez-gnome

The gnome bluetooth tools work under XFCE but currently are not visible. There is no obvious way to set up bluetooth devices under XFCE currently. The attached patch makes the bluetooth-applet run by default under XFCE, and the bluetooth-properties should show up in the menu.

Also, this appears to have been done last April under debian, but we apparently don't follow debian's package anymore.

I've now tested this patch against a fresh jaunty install. While the machine tested didn't have a bluetooth adapter, the bluetooth-applet was running under XFCE and bluetooth now appears in the settings menu.

  [ Joel Ebel ]
  * New patch 08_XFCE.patch in debian/patches
    - Adds XFCE to OnlyShowIn lines for desktop files. Enables
      bluetooth-applet under XFCE and shows bluetooth-properties in menus.

  [ Richard Laager ]
  * Add 09_visibility.patch to make visibility settings in
    applet persist across login sessions. (LP: #297819)
