Yes, very depressing. This is why people use Macs.

But there is no way I am going to use a Mac's OS and this is free and
open software so I would like to get to the bottom of this. I just read
through this entire issue and
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=638117#c9 and it appears this
is now a true upstream with gnome-bluetooth. It also appears to be
related to those with an actual hardware wireless radio or bluetooth
kill switch. This may explain why it works for certain people.

This is present in Ubuntu 14.04 with bluez 4.101-0ubuntu13 and gnome-
bluetooth 3.8.2.1-0ubuntu4 and not sure it matters but I also have
indicator-bluetooth 0.0.6+14.04.20140207-0ubuntu2.

I got this with a dpkg-query -l "*blue*" in case anyone else is wondering what
versions they are running.

Title:
  Bluetooth's on/off status doesn't update from the SetProperty D-Bus
  method that bluetoothd sends

Status in GNOME Bluetooth:
  New
Status in The Ubuntu Power Consumption Project:
  New
Status in “bluez” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “bluez” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

  Gnome's bluetooth applet should get a bluetooth device's on/off status
  through dbus from SetProperty setting sent by bluetoothd. This
  information was given in
  http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/4302 There is a
  setting controlling this feature: RememberPowered=true in
  /etc/bluetooth/main.conf

  Questions:
  Is the dbus message is even sent? If it is sent, why gnome-bluetooth doesn't do anything for it? Does bluez's SetProperty actually find the last (if even saved) bluetooth status?
