[arch-general] blueman authentication problem

[Frank Zimmermann]

Good evening,

for approx the last 2 days I noticed that the blueman applet and rfkill
state request me to enter my password when logging in Gnome Shell.
The following messages in my log might be of relevance:

Any ideas how to change this strange behavior?
