and restart machine, BT icon applet appears at the system tray.
Does it need to add me to many groups like that (lp,messagebus,sys,disk,slocate)? I think only some groups is enough, maybe that make many securities issues.
How can I turn off BT LED? "Turn Bluetooth Off" of blueman-applet seem not working.
After upgrading some packages included gtk from 2.14.7 to 2.17.11, SCIM doesn't work with OpenOffice, firefox, pidgin, .. So I turn back with 2.14.7. And this is the old error:
Code:
__load_plugin (/usr/bin/blueman-applet:172)

Traceback (most recent call last):

Seem I know that blueman cannot start because of gtk. On the blueman's download page, gtk just need >= 2.14, but here a man compile gtk 2.18 and blueman works well. I don't think I need to upgrade to 2.18.
Are there someone use Slackware 13 and blueman on laptop without having problem with SCIM? If has, please tell me gtk version you are using.
