After having updated the kernel to version 4.4.6, both the bluetooth GUI and some other things (eg connecting a device via bluetooth) do not work.

The things I tried were the following:

reinstall the bluetooth package (unsuccessfully)
neither uninstall it and reinstall it
restart the service

Being a user gives me:

Starting Bluetooth services: 

 bluetoothd hciconfig sdptool hciattach D-Bus setup failed: Connection ":1.58" is not allowed to own the service "org.bluez" due to security policies in the configuration file
rfcomm

And being root starts it well without error or with sudo it starts well too.

dmesg | grep -i blue
[ 6.623881] Bluetooth: Core ver 2.21
[ 6.623897] Bluetooth: HCI device and connection manager initialized
[ 6.623901] Bluetooth: HCI socket layer initialized
[ 6.623903] Bluetooth: L2CAP socket layer initialized

hcitool dev
Devices:
hci0 4C:EB:42:7F:C1:6D


rfkill list bluetooth

Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

I do not know what to try anymore, it used to work great, but not now, and I do not intend to downgrade!

I think you started a thread here where they explain the solution (and I expose it for future references) that is very close to what you already commented on your question but with a specific order that is very important to maintain:

For the process of bluetoothf with:

/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth stop

Remove the package bluez

removepkg bluez

Reinstalls the bluez package:

slackpkg update

slackpkg install bluez

/etc/rc.d/rc.bluetooth start

And solved.

Also when you do step 2 of eliminating the bluez you will see many messages (do not worry about that) that can be informative in case there is an error but even if it is, as long as you uninstall, it does not matter.
