[Bug 283064] Re: intrepid: bluetooth can not receive files

[Blutack]

Surely this is a regression?  Having to install a heavy and potentially
insecure network service for bluetooth file transfers is not a very good
solution to a problem that did not exist in the first place - whilst the
UI for bluetooth was not brilliant in Gnome 2.22, the stack worked well.
I know Gnome has a policy of minimizing settings exposed in the UI, but
this is the first case I've come across where previously extremely
useful functionality has been removed for the sake of a UI alteration.
Does this quote

gnome-bluetooth uses older interfaces, and is not going to be fixed.

mean that a reverse backport (not sure what that's called!) of the 2.22
bluetooth stack is impossible?

Gnome's solid bluetooth stack was previously a credit to the desktop,
and I personally believe the decision to remove a large and critical
portion and package it separately in an obscure new package is a
mistake.
