Ups, yeah, I must have missed that, sorry.

I'll try:
The hardware is a ThinkPad X31 which has an integrated BT module
connected via internal usb. When I boot up the machine BT is off (and
the device is disconnected from the USB bus). Then I press Fn+F5 which
connects the device to the USB bus. Now bt-applet usually says "Device
has been made connectable", but when I'm not in netdev, it just
segfaults (it seems to get info "new bt device", tries to get its info
and dies).

I think I have a regular BT USB dongle somewhere, I'll try to find it
and test whether bt-applet will die when I plug that in.

Regards
Evgeni
