Bluetooth analyzer can be hidden, as I believe it merely allows users
to look at the bluetooth messages floating around. With that gone, the
next big target is the Tracker search thing. I think we should replace
the Search for Files at the bottom of the places menu with the Tracker
Tool (yes, I realize this would create an Ubuntu specific patch. We
can push it upstream or at least start a discussion about it upstream.
Ideally we want a single search UI driving into either Beagle or
Tracker, depending on the distro/user). I also vote we hide "Manage
Print Jobs" or move it to the Administration menu.
