GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 711373
Pull 61-gnome-bluetooth-rfkill.rules here to upstream

It lives in the Debian and Fedora packages at least, and I stopped digging through downstream package crap after that. From the mailing list discussion, yeah, while Marcel has a point, in practice, console users can shut down the machine too... And many downstreams ship NetworkManager with permissions such that the user can control system networking to a large degree. Given that, let's just pull this upstream, anyone who doesn't want it can work on engineering something else (which is likely making NetworkManager be a proxy). The *real* reason I'm doing this is because it avoids librfkill-glib as used by gnome-shell spewing a g_warning() on start.

If anywhere, it should actually be shipped in gnome-settings-daemon, which also pokes at rfkill devices.

Created attachment 260432 [details] [review] rfkill: Pull 61-gnome-bluetooth-rfkill.rules here to upstream Now against g-s-d. On the plus side, the rfkill plugin is already Linux-specific, so no configure/automake goo is required.
Review of attachment 260432 [details] [review]: ++ Now I just need to land the Bluetooth rfkill switch in gsd.
