 when they run the program without that switch it should inform them that
 might be a better way to do it.

 There are cases where running PA without -D does make sense. But certainly
 not if you run it with a & suffix in the shell anyway. And there is no way
 to figure out if PA was started with & from the shell or not. So I see no
 way how we could print a message like that.

 Also, a distribution should run PA automatically via an xdg autostart
 file, which is what we do upstream. There should not be the need to run it
 manually at all.

 loading the module, upon running the same command to load the module a
 second time, I am informed that the module is already loaded.  Therefore,
 either the module is not loaded by default or the output of the Manager
 application is misleading.

 Which distribution is this? The upstream version of PA certainly does
 enable this module by default.

 What you wrote above suggested you where using something called "blueman-
 manager".
