So I have made some progress. I find that the monochrome bluetooth flag in the status bar at the top of the screen only indicates that bluetooth is available.
It does not indicate that bluetoothd is running.
It does not indicate that bluetooth is powered on.
Also, gnome-bluetooth appears to begin scanning as soon as it is started, which makes it really unresponsive, and blueman does not scale well.
So, in summary, if this works ok for you, excellent, if you have problems, as I have, then you may need to resort to the cli.
