Yes, and it'd also be quite bad if a user has lots of paired devices. Each connect attempt to a device that's not connectable or within range would block the Bluetooth adapter for the page timeout duration which is typically between 5 and 20 seconds. > How about trying to connect to the last used audio device?

Maybe it would also make sense to make this configurable since I have a feeling that not all people will want to have their PC exhibiting this kind of behavior upon bootup. > Do you want to file a bug against gnome-bluetooth to ask for that?

Since I personally don't have a strong need for this feature I think it'd be good if Alexander who originally brought up the issue would do it so he can also do the fix verification later on.
