not exactly what you asked, but close. especially if you got the launcher installed on your desktop.

Sure,
install the cpu load applet or something... the one that show the cpu/mem graph and that can run a shell cmd.
then add in /etc/sudoers this line
hciconfig hci0 up
and running using that systray applet using sudo

Go to Control Panel -> Panels -> Status Bar tab, and ensure that Bluetooth is checked. The icon should then appear in your status bar like the Wifi icon. This is usually left on by default.

Thanks to Saturn for the tip. It will help somewhat.
I don't want to have BT on all the time wasting battery power, but when I do use it it should not be so many clicks to get to it. I don't understand this, since you can turn off wifi either through the top menu or from hitting the power button and activating 'offline mode". It REALLY should be an option on the wifi menu, and I can't believe that through 3 OSs ('06-'08) no one has seen that.

Also, I think, something should be done to allow turning it on/off easier. I mean without having to get thru status to uncheck the "bluetooth on" case.
Pairing should be easier as well, with a auto-pair function (just like the wi-fi one) that would allow to quickly pair a headset without having to go all the way to the bt device proprieties.

Tell me what I've overlooked.
Thanks.
