Description of problem:


Why is it running by default?  Why would I want to have this app running until I actually decide that I want to share content via bluetooth.

If I try to remove this package it tells me it needs to remove bluez?  Why does bluez require this app?

It's not. Unless you said you wanted to share files over Bluetooth, or browsed files on your Bluetooth phone.

Because it's handy to have it on the disk when you choose to share files via Bluetooth, or you browse

It does not. obex-data-server is a requirement of gnome-user-share. gnome-user-share requires gnome-bluetooth, which provides a pairing agent mechanism. bluez requires a pairing mechanism.

Well how come it is running everytime I log in?  I could see if this was running after I tell the bluetooth applet to run, but I see this autostarting in my desktop session, right after I login.
