I've exchanged some emails with the author of
https://github.com/ncopa/xfce-bluetooth

Unfortunately, the code there is in very early alpha stage. It doesn't
do a whole lot yet. He's happy to have any help implementing things,
but makes no promises as to when things will be usable. 

This applet depends on vala and the xfce-vala bindings, so I am not
sure if it would work for other desktops, but its possible that it
could. 

If anyone would be interested in helping out with this applet, please
contact the maintainer. 

For Xfce, we could use this if it becomes usable in time, or we could
use some other systray producting applet, or we could just not support
bluetooth from the desktop for this release. ;(
