I have installed Blueman. But I want to disable it on KDE startup so that whenever I turn on my Bluetooth, blueman shouldn’t take over the KDE’s Bluedevil.
Please tell me how I can do so.
Remove the package (unless you really want to keep it):
zypper rm blueman
Check ~/.kde4/Autostart for links to this app.
I do not want to remove it as its very useful to connect to the Internet through the phone and many things that BlueDevil currently doesn’t support. So I simply want to remove it from the startup.
Does Blueman start as a Service?
Then you can disable the “Start on Boot” configuration through YAST
YAST > System > System Service(RunLevel) > Advanced

If it is not in ‘Autostart’, also make sure that its not simply starting because you have ‘Restore previous session’ in System Settings>>Startup and Shutdown>>Session Management.
I guess its associated with a KDE installation in /usr. I kill blueman before logout, but it still starts with every login.
Ok, I think I may have found how it gets loaded. Blueman is a gnome app, and at installation it creates a .desktop file called /etc/xdg/autostart/blueman.desktop. Have a look at this file with an editor and make sure that this entry
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;LXDE;
doesn’t contain KDE as well. Mine for reference:
[Desktop Entry]
X-SuSE-translate=true
GenericName=Bluetooth Manager applet
Name=Bluetooth Manager
Comment=Bluetooth Manager applet
Icon=bluetooth
Exec=bluetooth-applet
Terminal=false
Type=Application
Categories=
OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE;LXDE;
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=gnome-bluetooth
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=applet
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=2.30.0
FWIW, a similar approach can be used to autostart Gnome apps like nm-applet for those users running KDE4 (who don’t like the KDE equivalents).

Just to expand on potential Autostart folders, for those looking to enable or disable ‘auto-starting’ of particular apps. KDE checks these locations for .desktop files:
~/.kde4/Autostart
~/.kde4/share/autostart
~/.config/autostart
~/.local/share/autostart
/etc/xdg/autostart
/usr/share/autostart
(Adjusted for openSUSE which uses .kde4 directory naming)
