If it doesn't work, this is a problem. Please open a bug and we'll fix it as it's not performing to design. >Think about this case, 2 guys want to share files using their >bluetooths, both laptops use moblin as default system and when they >activate their bluetooth, they cannot see each other.

What I'm saying with the design above is that yes, if they both activate their bluetooth - it should work 'automagically' without anyone needing to care. >I know this uses a lot of battery, but in some cases user wants to >make their computer visible. In those cases, if they visit the Bluetooth panel or an active Bluetooth context it should 'just work'. We spend a lot of time trying to be clever so stuff 'just works' without exposing options that can allow the user to shoot themselves in the foot.
