I agree with Will and his proposal: >Basic > Network & Connectivity > Network Connections > Bluetooth > Computer Administration > Energy Saving >Advanced > System > Platform Backends Adding more. For Platform Backends, I'd merge in Phonon KCM. After all, it does just the same. We can add Platform backend as a category and throw in various modules, it's for power users after all. I'd also like to see a choice for choosing between hybrid & standard suspend in this new module, to make everyone happy. I think this solution could be a great improvement. > > Comments from the people responsible for the Power Management and Network > Management modules are welcome. If anyone has some clues about a Bluetooth > module, please let me know. The only thing that more or less manages bluetooth in kde4 is kdebluetooth. It seems to work, though my crappy bluetooth key never played cool with linux, so I really can't tell. The GUI is confusing, since it relies on a system tray, and the device manager and the configuration interfaces could be surely moved to a kcmodule. Ah, obviously kdebluetooth uses Solid. I think we should contact those guys, refactor the configurations GUI into a kcmodule, and include kdebluetooth in main kde modules. Having it in could be a great plus. After all, it should rely on solid only. > > Regards. -- ------------------- Dario Freddi KDE Developer GPG Key Signature: 511A9A3B
