[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#501558: bluez-gnome: Connect option not working

[Guus Sliepen]

Package: bluez-gnome
Version: 0.27-1
Severity: important

The bluetooth panel applet is quite useless to me. If I have a bluetooth mouse,
the applet correctly shows it as a mouse device. I expect that when I click on
"Connect", a connection with the mouse will be made and that I can use the
mouse from that point on. However, despite knowing that the device is a mouse,
it tries to make an OBEX connection to the mouse. Making OBEX connections in
itself fails as well, because even though gnome-vfs-obexftp is installed, I get
a dialog box saying obex:// protocol not being recognized.
