If there will be a lot of Bluetooth-specific features, they might as well get a top-level menu item.

If we start getting too many top-level menu items, we can think about how to handle that; for now, one more top-level 
item seems OK to me.

Only if you'll be writing code for both toolkits.  If we can get all the current GUI functionality implemented in Qt 
before the 2.0 release, you might want to just write Qt code and not bother with a GTK+ version.

If it can play audio from any RTP stream, it might also belong in other menu trees, such as the "Miscellaneous" one you 
mention.

"Miscellaneous"?  "Tools"?  I'm not sure what a good name would be - "not Telephony, Bluetooth or Statistics" defines 
it by what it's *not*, which doesn't help say what it *is*.
