There was also some rather.. impolite words exchanged about this between the Gnome developers responsible for the change and the rest of the community that wanted to re-use the Gnome components. The distilled form is... the Gnome guys were accused of trying to create lock-in/lock-out, and the Gnome guys said "yah, and?"
It's unfortunate... messy and... hard to fix.
Yeah, and we thought that opensource was about open collaboration. Maybe the gnome people did not like people going away from gnome to xfce after the drastic changes to the interface in gnome 3, so they took this route.
My current workaround on the one device (x86 tablet) I have that needs working Bluetooth is to install Gnome and the DE I really want to use. Log into Gnome, pair the Bluetooth, log out, log into my preferred DE (KDE4 is so much more friendly on touch-tablet devices) and the pairing sticks until I reboot, or the tablet goes into standby/hibernation.
I'm considering removing all gnome things (I have it fully installed) in retaliation. I have been a gnome user/lover for a decade, but this is hateful. I'll switch to using bluetooth in text mode, if I can manage to make it working (see my new thread about this). Otherwise, I'll use a virtual machine with Windows if need be. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
