Ah, ok. NetworkManager is supposed to be able to deal with rfkill, too
(might need bleeding edge for that). I don't have a clue on how well it
does that, though.

Heh, already got some side comments about gnome interfering with
bluetooth rfkill from an user :-p

Just keep in mind that /dev/rfkill manipulates radios of a given _type_
as a group, and that an user could have many radios of the same type,
and want to manipulate just one. Also, touching any rfkill line _can_
cause hotplug and hotunplug of devices.
