It's obvious what it does in the shell menu, but not in the panel. The reason why one was chosen over the other can be found in the closed bugs for the gnome-bluetooth properties.

Executive decision here. Everything in that dialogue is "Bluetooth". The menu in the shell labels the menu as well as the switch. For the panel, we don't have the same luxury, or top-down presentation that would make it clear that the power for the Bluetooth adapter is being switched.

Unless you can think of a better way to do this, I'm afraid I'll close this bug.

The point of the switch widget is that it already carries the message that it controls power. It's a switch: that's what switches do. So it's unnecessary to repeat that messag, in the same way as you wouldn't use 'Enable' or 'On' for the label.

But sure, it's your call; and I don't feel that strongly about this. It's a minor suggestion.

Visibility power? Zoom power? VPN Connections power? No, certainly not as clear as you would make out. Either that, or we started getting our metaphors muddled.
