[Bug 210894] Re: Bluetooth-applet crashes when connecting keyboard with passkey

[Skerit]

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: bluez-gnome
  
  I can "connect" anything to the machine just fine.
  
  My mouse doesn't need any authorisation, but they keyboard does. To get
  an authorisation request (through libnotify,apparantly) to pop-up I
  first need to press a few keys on the keyboard.
  
  But sometimes the notify-bubble will disappear instantly, sometimes it
  won't. When you're finally able to push the "Enter Passkey" button the
  resulting dialog mostly also crashes instantly!
  
  I have no way to connect my keyboard now...
  
  Oh, not to mention that it's VERY hard to type numbers in the
  authorisation request WITHOUT A KEYBOARD!
  
  Maybe a diall is needed in the dialog, so that people can "type" in the
  numbers through there. (Right now I'm cutting and pasting "1234" in it,
  should it work ...)
+ 
+ Edit: The reason for the disappearing pop-up & dialog is because, in the
+ preferences window, you have a "Bonded devices" list. I had bonded the
+ keyboard once before and let it sit there in the list (because I want
+ the keyboard to auto-bond on boot) So when I tried re-bonding it with
+ the passkey it didn't work.
