no blueman-applet(bluetooth-applet) in desktop tray when slack-current boots
Since Consolekit&GConf were upgraded in slack-current in this development cycle blueman-applet fails to autostart and appear in desktop tray.
Happens with every install of pure slack-current from released dvd isos.
dbus-launch blueman-applet loads the applet to appear on desktop tray.All components of applet function but only adds device but does not connect.
Have tried on 2 laptops different brands and a desktop with same result.Most recent iso tested released on 29-3-16.
When I downgrade to Consolekit-0.4.5 and GConf that goes with it,at boot b-applet auto-starts and appears on desktop tray.Seems to behave normally-can pair and connect easily.I have connections to b-mouse,b-keyboard,and b-speaker and it also picks up my smartv recently purchased-yet to work out what to do with smattv connection!
What is different in Consolekit2-1.0.0and its GConf from Consolekit-0.05 and its GConf that prevents b-applet from auto-starting and appearing in desktop tray.
Could recent problems with bluetooth discussed in forum be related to it
If no one else has had this problem, I will quietly go to the corner and be depressed
Hope this is not a duplicate post!
Thanks for your help
Thanks for your fast response Richard.when I double click on bluetooth adapters nothing happens.When I execute as user Blueman-adapters at the terminal I get this.

double clicked settings Bluetooth Adapters-nothing happens.
I'll bet that your ~/.xsession-errors file contains the traceback that you posted earlier. Does your system have the polkitd user and group? Is bluetoothd still running when you look?
My laptop has an up-to-date installation of Slackware64 -current and bluetooth appears to be working....
Code:
me@hp635 ~$ ps -ef | grep blue

Thanks for your help Richard. Looks like I am the only one having this problem.
Well, you can edit /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetoothd, add "-d" to the bluetoothd command line, and restart bluetoothd and check the logs. Maybe we'll see something there.
On the other hand, this seems like some type of dbus issue. I don't know how to troubleshoot that particular subsystem.
I do not have /etc/rc.d/rc.bluetoothd.Also in a pure slack-current install,I am surprised other people are not seeing it, even a dbus issue.Thanks again.
