Standalone Bluetooth systray applet

The Bluetooth status applet for GNOME fallback mode was provided by the gnome-bluetooth project, but it was dropped later:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-bluetooth/commit/?id=c54e93e4310342ffce13e15b5a1b9a6ee9500a05

The Bluetooth handling code has been changed a lot, so we can't use this dropped code as is.

GNOME Shell has its own Bluetooth status indicator front-end implemented in bluetooth.js:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/tree/js/ui/status/bluetooth.js

I ported GNOME Shell's implementation to a standalone systray applet, which is suitable for use within the GNOME Flashback session, we just need to autostart it.

Thanks for looking/working on this problem. :) But I really would like to see this done as libbluetooth and libpower (bug 753425) just like other things in gnome-flashback module.
Comment 2 Balló György 2015-08-09 21:12:35 UTC 
It would be too difficult for me to port this code from JavaScript to C, so I can't do it right now.
Comment 3 Alberts Muktupāvels 2015-09-10 00:02:35 UTC 
Thanks for initial version. :) I changed to not show status icon if devices are 0.
Comment 4 Balló György 2015-09-12 13:28:39 UTC 
Currently it looks good. Thank you very much! :)
