[Bug 1382804] [NEW] gnome-control-center hangs when bluetooth visibility is toggled while bluetooth is turned off

 

Public bug reported:

When the discoverable control is enabled while the killswitch is enabled, the control center will hang until the dbus in libgnome-bluetooth times out. This is documented behaviour of bluez.
The attached patch will make the control center check for the power state before toggling visibility. If the killswitch is enabled, it will be disabled before visibility is enabled.
This bug is present in gnome-control-center 3.12.1, other versions have not been tested.
