That's a no. Many people use blueman on plasma and GNOME.

I'm pretty sure if they are using blueman on KDE ang GNOME they are fully capable of starting the applet yes?

Would it not make more since to have this as opt-in rather than opt out?

Scenario:

1. Have KDE/GNOME installed alongside a window manager
2. Use blueman in window manager
3. Want to use Default KDE/GNOME UI for bluetooth
4. User has to disable blueman via /etc/xdg config

As a side note nm-applet already has this option set to make it opt in.

For configuring autostart? Please elaborate. In #2102 we concluded that current Gnome does not have any proper mechanism for that anymore (at that time). That discussion was exactly around users switching between Gnome and another desktop and preferring Gnome Bluetooth in Gnome. We did not find a proper solution. The best idea was to implement our own autostart switch (creating and removing a link) and leave it to the user to somehow set things up for the desktops he wants to use blueman with. Not sure if that's actually any better than requiring him to override the autostart with his preferences.
