So, do I understand you to say that there is no way to configure an
external Bluetooth HID device (such as a keyboard or mouse) such that
when the device connects to the computer, *something* will actually take
the events from the device and route them to the user interface so that
they can be acted upon, save by installing an older, deprecated package
and MANUALLY, FROM THE COMMAND LINE launching the appropriate commands?

Do I understand that, due to the way the Bluetooth tools are shipped in
the latest versions of Ubuntu, all the the guides a user is likely to
find on the Web that instruct them to simply select the Bluetooth Icon
on the panel, and switch to the "Services" tab are now invalid, because
there is no "Services" tab, and there is now some new, undocumented way
to enable things like HID support?

Let me be clear here: this is something that should Just Work: I pair an
HID device to the machine, and when that device connects the appropriate
services/daemons/plugins/whatever should be launched WITHOUT having to
manually start them from the command line.
