[Bug 222600] [NEW] Bluetooth connection from phone locks X

[Jan Jokela]

*** This bug is a security vulnerability ***

Public security bug reported:

Binary package hint: bluetooth

My bluetooth options are the following:
- visible and connectable for other devices ON
- automathically authorize connections OFF
- audio and input service running

My laptop's bluetooth adapter is a Microsoft usb bluetooth adapter (shipped with microsoft bluetooth mouses and keyboards)
My phone is a samsung L700 series. 

When I browse bluetooth devices on my phone and attempt to connect to my laptop (running Hardy), X locks.
Still image, no input, can't restart X, nothing.

On the other hand, if I directly set up a bluetooth file transfer (from
phone to laptop) there appears to be no problem.
