BlueDevil causes slow start KDE?

[Martin Kho]

Hi,

When BlueDevil is enabled in rawhide and I log in into KDE it takes more time  
for the second 'boot-icon' appears than when BlueDevil is disabled. Also when 
I log out it takes more time than normal. In .xsession-errors I see a  message 
that BluedDevil was crashed because of a fatal I/O-error. May be the slowness 
and crash have to do with the fact that I don't have any bluetooth adapters. 
I'm still using a medieval desktop pc :-)

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks,

Martin Kho

Hi,

Disabling BlueDevil in System Settings was not enough, I had to 
remove/uninstall bluez and (lib)bluedevil, because the Bluetooth daemon was 
still started by amarok / cagibid. Huh, a music app that invokes Bluetooth? 
The slowness was actually caused by NetworkManager that needed a minute or so 
to time out on a non-existing Bluetooth adapter.

IMHO the dependency of amarok on Bluetooth is a design fault. Some other 
thoughts?

Must be for BT headsets and such, but it should be optional.
