[Bug 318465] Re: Logitech MX5000 doesn't connect via bluetooth under ubuntu

I'm using the Logitech MX5500 Bluetooth, and other than needing to add
the numlockx startup fix, everything is now working out of the box on
Jaunty 9.04 (fresh installation). I no longer need to use the USB HID
mode (disable bluez) as I did in 8.04 and 8.10, and instead finally!
have both keyboard and mouse (MX Revolution) paired properly through the
Bluetooth Manager. Bluetooth devices (headphones) also work through the
same dongle.

The only thing I need to do on startup is 'bash' on the modifier keys
(Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Super, Caps Lock) at least once before trying to use
the keyboard.

Possibly there is something in bluez which is not initialising the
keyboard 100% properly - i.e. the problem which Jack is experiencing and
my modifier keys issue above may somehow be related.

This also happens after the computer has been idle (screen black, or
screen saver starts), and I've become quite used to toggling all
modifiers before starting work again. So it may or may not have anything
to do with bluez itself, or it may have something to do with power
management or other system elements.
