Currently on OSX, the operating system informs users if a Bluetooth
keyboard or mouse is connected or disconnected, albeit after an initial
time. (What I mean by "after an initial time" is this: it doesn't show
it if it's connected in the first seconds of login.)
What happens is that an box similar to the Unity "box-shown-when-play-
is-pressed-and-banshee-isn't-running" box is shown with a keyboard icon
and a message saying "Keyboard Connected." The same happens with a
mouse, and it happens both for connect and disconnect. This makes things
very convenient. If your Bluetooth keyboard disconnects, you immediately
know about it.
These features would be very handy in the next version of Ubuntu.
