Description haarp 2016-05-27 08:05:24 UTC 
Since blueman-2.1, polkit rules are necessary to prevent root authorization popups on every start of blueman-applet.

See https://github.com/blueman-project/blueman/wiki/PolicyKit

I suggest using the plugdev group instead, same as used by NetworkManager.

    net-wireless/blueman: include polkit rules for network setup, #584300
    
    Add a set of polkit rules that allow active users belonging to
    the plugdev group to perform network setup actions via blueman. This
    resembles the rules used by NetworkManager.
