I use F24, a Bluetooth headset, and KDE. The GUI may be different but I think gnome
should have similar settings.
On my settings for the headset I have "trusted" checked. Then there is another
"tab"
called "Advanced Settings". There is a drop down box for "Accept
Automatically" and I
have "Trusted Devices" selected.
When I power on my headset it is connected automatically.
Interesting. A recent thread (around July 8) concerned similar problems
with BT mice. I wonder if this is the solution. I confess I'd never
looked at the Advanced Settings when trying to solve this.
