Comment 3 for bug 629452

I guess you _could_ call it a feature. A bit like having a car with an engine that you can't ever switch off. Not a very useful feature. I have a rule that says that removing something is not a feature. A "design" choice, but not a feature.

I am in the same situation regarding a shared switch for wireless and bluetooth. I tried blueman, which is a very nice utility, but it crashes a few seconds after using it to deactivate bluetooth. However, I set-up an alias to restart bluetooth when I need it.

  alias startblue='sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth'

Maybe this will work for you.
