[Bug 480959] [NEW] Bluetooth almost impossible to pair - too short timeout, pin sel fails

[tz]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

I just tried to pair a fairly standard phone under Karmic.

First, it seems to randomly ignore the PIN selection dialog.  I keep
setting it to a short but custom PIN and instead it pops up a very long
random pin.  That would not be so bad, except I can't possibly type in
the PIN within the very short time before Karmic says it timed out and
failed.

So something is wrong in the logic for selecting the PIN - it ignores
the setting for the one I type and uses the default random long PIN and
I've tried several times.  Sometimes it doesn't ignore it (but didn't
show the pin so something else might hae gone wrong).

Second, the pairing timeout under Karmic is on the order of a few
seconds, so you have to shift to the other device and type 50 WPM
without any errors to possibly enter the PIN in time.  Even the simple
pin would be a problem.
