[Bug 601165] [NEW] connect option

[Eshwar Andhavarapu]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bluez

under bluetooth preferences, one can find the list of devices that have
been paired with the computer. now if the device is connected an icon
shows this. there is also a disconnect button to disconnect. but
sometimes the computer fails to automatically connect and on devices
e.g. headset there isn't always a button that forces the devices to
connect. so on top of the existing disconnect button there should be a
connect button. blueman package offers this benefit so why can't the
default stack?

Also as addition, right clicking or selecting a device should give us a
possibilty to query the list of services that are offered by the device.
this possibility also exists in blueman. it should be a trivial fix.
