Ongoing problems

Workarounds

kbluetoothd

I get the following every few seconds in ~/.xsession-errors while bluetooth is disabled:

kbluetoothd: Bind failed: No such device
kbluetoothd: HciSocket::open()
kbluetoothd: Bind failed: No such device
kbluetoothd: HciSocket::open()

If I enable bluetooth (Fn+F5) then the problem goes away (and bluetooth seems to work, though I can't really tell as I have no other bluetooth devices!), but this will drain my battery.

How do I tell KDE to not bother trying to use bluetooth until it's turned on?

http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-76759.html advises editing ~/.kde/share/config/kbluetoothdrc to read AutoStart=false and then starting kbluetoothd manually when needed.

It would be nice if it could start automatically when bluetooth is enabled and die when it's not, though.
