This is the right place.

It almost certainly won't be in 4.2, since it's a release candidate right 
now.  I don't know if KDE treats this as a feature or a bug, so 4.2.1/2 
might be a possibility if it's a bug or 4.3 if it's a feature.

We plan to release Jaunty with 4.2.2.  If the code gets finished, but is in 
4.3, we'll look into backporting it into our 4.2 packages.

I can assure you that Kubuntu developers are affected by this.

The old bluez was seriously broken for a lot of use cases with the Intrepid 
kernel.  This is why the late transition was done.

Everyone: The bug tracker is not a forum.  Please limit your comments to 
new information that helps move this towards resolution.
