Subject: Re: bug#32166: GNOME Settings panel for Bluetooth dysfunctional

Took me some times to figure it out, but the attached patches do fix the
issue. In short, gnome-settings-daemon needs a RW access to
/dev/rfkill.

It installs an udev rule to add an uaccess tag to the /dev/rfkill
device. Then elogind takes care of modifying the file ACL accordingly.

Two things were broken:

1. The gnome-settings-daemon udev path was wrong.

2. The gnome service didn't registered the udev rules installed by the
gnome-settings-daemon.

I now have, as intended:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
mathieu@meije ~$ getfacl /dev/rfkill 
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: dev/rfkill
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rw-
user:mathieu:rw-
group::rw-
mask::rw-
other::r--
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Thanks,

Mathieu
