Okay update -- all seems to be good now.
Was having problems with safe booting (three times total, holding shift
and power to boot up gave me that same Bluetooth nonsense with the stuck
cursor), and I had forgotten about OPTION-restart. I should also
mention, on account of the stuck cursor, I reseated the Mini's
connections to the KVM switch. Dunno if it helped, but at least I
thought of it and did it. A Google search leading to a PDF manual for my
Mini reminded me of Option-Restart, so I did that, and THEN held down
shift while restarting, and THEN my Mini booted in Safe Mode (it told me
it was in safe mode and asked me to log in, which it didn't do before,
so apparently those prior attempts to boot in safe mode were totally
malfunctional).
In any case, now that I was in, yes, I went to System Prefs, found
Bluetooth and shut it all the hell down. I honestly have no idea how it
got turned on in the first place!
Just did a normal restart (from the Mini's Apple menu) and all's well
with that too. Guess I can put my Mini's system CDs away now. ;-)
Thank you!
