Everytime I close my Powerbook to take it somewhere and I had the Bluetooth service running, when I open it back up, SystemUIService locks up making my whole top menu bar unavailable (beachball on mousover). If I disable bluetooth before closing it, the option to turn it back on will be greyed out when I open it back up. In both instances I have to reboot to get everything working again. Am I the only one?

Hi,
I experienced the same problem some days ago. My Bluetooth icon in the menu bar was canceled with a wavy line. Opening the Bluetooth control panel in System Preferences in order to disable and reactivate Bluetooth did not work because the control panel was very, very slow. Therefore I had to reboot the PowerBook, too. But this was the first time and it is not a serious problem to me, since I don't have any Bluetooth devices.
But you don't seem to be alone :-D
Regards, Lars

The only thing that fixed this for me was reinstalling the OS from scratch. It sucked, but it worked.

Yes, reinstalling took care of this and it hasn't been a problem until this week with the new Bluetooth/.4.4 update, as I knew it would. :/

So reinstalling really worked? I'm faced with this issue kinda regularly. I'm not sure how often it happens as I often go without Bluetooth for many days at a time until I'm prepared to restart. It's so inconvenient to have to do so because I make extensive use of my browsers' multiple tab features to set up an environment, etc.
*sigh*
