Glad to be of help.
ajh33: Which icon did you use? Does it scale automatically in small and large icon sizes?
OS2008 still has the same issue that bluetooth icon disappears, but i couldnt get hciconfig in chinook. I will have to check repo's for it and bring out a new deb
Edit: found a repository http://repository.maemo.org/pool/chinook/

Try http://old.tuaw.com/category/bluetooth/ Vabgeo.
I am using the one maybe 3/4 of the way down the page that looks like it is standing up on its point... that way it looks different than the "bluetooth off" icon and I can remember which is which.
Oh yeah... it does scale, but I use my simplelauncher on extra large so I can easily start apps with a finger.

I am not sure how to specify different sized icons, I will have to check on that. The current icon is 26x26 size and is kept in "/usr/share/pixmaps/switchOnBT.png". Try copying an existing bigger bluetooth icon and overwrite this file.
At least that's what I did with mClock - and it works quite well

I've totally removed the BT icon from my bar.
I leave WiFi and BT always on and rely on the tablet switching them off automagically whenever they are not used.
The only thing I do is to put the tablet in offline mode as THAT is the only way to KEEP it from automatically looking for connections when I am sure I don't want it to connect (or I am sure I am going in a place where no network as been before..ehm.. where no network connection is available [either cellphone of WiFi]).
So far, the tablet battery has been lasting a lot.

for OS2008, i havent been able to install the hciconfig util. I guess it comes as part of bluez-tools

(I'd use gizmo if/when it works).
I just tried it on my N800 reflashed with OS2008 and it dialed my cell phone just fine.

Bluetooth is a problem in the US Army. Not allowed to be on in any building where I work, and occasionally they "sniff" for it to tell people to turn off their BT devices. We can have it, just not turned on inside.
And we are required to use "hands free" devices for cell phones while driving on post, so BT is very popular.
There ARE approved BT devices though it's only one I know of: the encrypted-BT-connection CAC sled for Blackberry phones.
The bluetooth-on app released in here does install on my N800/OS2008 but doesn't seem to work. I turn bluetooth off, the icon disappears (damn you Nokia!), then I run the app and....nothing. Icon is still gone.
