Are there any plans to integrate all the features of Bluetooth File
Sharing applet into the bluetooth main applet? Rather than having two
applets, one for file sharing and another to load up the preferences
just have one.

Also is it possible to enable/disable the bluetooth device from the
applet, for power saving/security reasons. Do you need to rmmod the
module to power down the device or simply hciconfig hci0 down?

Ideas for Applet

Left Click

Neighbourhood Bluetooth devices -> Either to dropdown for each or a new
window displaying an icon for the device type
Device Mode ->
	Discoverable
	Discoverable and Connectable
	Hidden
	Off
File Sharing ->
		On
		On if device enabled
		Off

RightClick
Preferences (Display an icon / Device name)
Select device ->
	hci0
	hci1

Thoughts?
I'm thinking about learning a new language (as you do)... c++ or python?
