Title:
  Bluetooth icon shows a little lock, and there's no indication of what
  it means

Status in indicator-bluetooth package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  All of a sudden the Bluetooth icon on the top right notification area shows a little lock icon (see screenshot).
  By clicking on the icon, there's no way to figure out what the icon means. 
  After turning bluetooth off and on, the lock icon disappeared.
  Then, no matter whether I turn bluetooth on or off, no matter whether visible or not, the lock icon never reappeared (the bluetooth icon, without a lock, greys out as expected when bluetooth is turned off).

  I thought the lock may mean that Receive Files via Bluetooth was
  turned off in Personal File Sharing settings (see also #958661: that
  setting should be in the Bluetooth settings), but even after enabling
  it, the lock was still showing up (until I turned off and on
  bluetooth). After disabling file reception again, the lock icon did
  not reappear.

  I suspect that the icon appeared because of an attempt to send a file to the computer which was rejected, because it appeared just after that but:
  1 - if that is the case, then an indication should be given, e.g. when rolling over the icon or when unfolding the submenu. You should ALWAYS be able to know what the **** an icon means
  2 - if that is the case, there should be a way to "dismiss" the notice, other than turning off and on bluetooth
  3 - a toast (or whatever it is called) notification should also be shown at the moment the file is rejected

  If the lock is instead supposed to mean that file reception is turned
  off, or that visibility is turned off, then it's not working properly.
  If it means anything else, it is not working properly either, as I
  haven't changed any other setting when the lock disappeared.
