[X86_64 Testing] Bluetooth in Gnome 3.10 status menu

I have a Dell E6500 laptop with bluetooth and would like to have bluetooth visible in the gnome 3.10 status menu as shown on the picture below.

Bluetooth is working just fine when i go to the settings menu but it is not shown in the status menu at all.

- Tried starting the bluetooth service at boottime with systemd.
- Tried pairing with a device first via the settings menu.

Still all i get is this.

Did anyone here get this working and/or does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might not be working ?

I really dont want to be a gravedigger, but it works if you do the bluetoothctl thingy (you know "power on" "agent on").

The only bluez app that does this automatically so far is bluedevil for kde.
