However, even if you uncheck bluetooth management, if you check System
Monitir you'll find that 'bluetooth-applet' is still there - sleeping,
but taking up memory nonetheless. On a system with only 256Mb every
little bit helps, so I just blow out bluetooth and other similar apps
that are useless to me so that I get a little better performance out of
the machine. I've found that using synaptic (Mark for Complete Removal)
is a better choice for me when doing this, as sometimes I miss the side
apps when doing from the command line. For instance, in bluetooth's
case: bluez-cups, bluez-gnome, bluez-pin, bluez-utils, etc.
