This program looks nice, but I would like to see a very detailed
explanation how it difference and what the relation is with:
gpe-bluetooth
bluetooth-applet (gnome-bluez)
What for is policykit-gnome dependency exactly used?
I would like to see an GTK based bluetooth manager that is working very
close with bluez upstream and does not depend on gnome dependencies so it
will be usable on all gtk based desktops and embedded systems! So a
flexible configurable gui that also is GNOME Human Interface Guidelines
compliant would be nice.
Does the program has a command line only interface, i am missing command
line tools to pair successfully with all bluetooth devices.
Thanks in advance for the information,
Best regards,
Jelle de Jong
