Add Bluetooth function e.g.

A Bluetooth applet similar to the one made by @linuxkettle for the Battery would need to be written. Volunteers?

Possibly bluetooth-config could be used as a backend?

Well I'm CCed in now, I'll give it a go.

For getting started with Bluetooth file transfer, the following works for me: https://forums.ghostbsd.org/viewtopic.php?t=970

I tested this successfully up to the point where the instructions say "If Bluetooth is working you'll get your phone discovered and see output like this".

I had to turn Bluetooth off and on again on my phone to make it discoverable.

However, I don't want users to deal with the command line and configuration files.

Hence I tried to build the Qt Bluetooth File Transfer Example application that comes as an example with Qt Creator. It would be pretty perfect for our purposes, but unfortunately it says qt.bluetooth: Dummy backend running. Qt Bluetooth module is non-functional.

How can we get Qt to interact with FreeBSD's Bluetooth stack?
