Bluetooth for Normal user

Hi, everyone!
I have a problem when I use gnome-bluetooth.

Run as a normal user

$ bluetooth-applet 

** (bluetooth-applet:17545): WARNING **: Could not open RFKILL control device, please verify your installation

Run as root

$ sudo bluetooth-applet 
Password: 
** Message: adding killswitch idx 1 state KILLSWITCH_STATE_UNBLOCKED
** Message: adding killswitch idx 3 state KILLSWITCH_STATE_UNBLOCKED
** Message: killswitch 1 is KILLSWITCH_STATE_UNBLOCKED
** Message: killswitch 3 is KILLSWITCH_STATE_UNBLOCKED
** Message: killswitches state KILLSWITCH_STATE_UNBLOCKED
** (bluetooth-applet:17549): DEBUG: Unhandled UUID 0000111b-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb (0x111b)
** Message: killswitch 1 is KILLSWITCH_STATE_UNBLOCKED
** Message: killswitch 3 is KILLSWITCH_STATE_UNBLOCKED
** Message: killswitches state KILLSWITCH_STATE_UNBLOCKED

I'd like to run the applet as a normal user. How to configure it?

Re: Bluetooth for Normal user

I put the user to group rfkill, but it does not work either.
Anyone knows?

Re: Bluetooth for Normal user

sudo chmod 666 /dev/rfkill

solved the problem by now. But I don't think this is a good way for solution.
