[Bug 822275] [NEW] "Browse files on" functionality broken on Lucid LTS

[Gioele Barabucci]

Public bug reported:

It is not possible to browse files on bluetooth devides using the
`gnome-bluetooth` "Browse files on...".

This is a regression from Karmic where the "Browse file on"
functionality was flawlessly working.

Steps to reproduce, TEST CASE:

1) enable bluetooth on mobile device;
2) select "Browse files on" from `gnome-bluetooth` applet;
3) select one mobile device;
4) wait for the nautilus window to appear (it will not).

Tested on a brand new Lucid LTS 10.04.3.

As suggested in bug #542805 (closed as fix released but only partially
really fixed), I tried running `/usr/share/doc/obexd-client/examples
/list-folders`. This little application crashes with

----
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/doc/obexd-client/examples/list-folders", line 38, in <module>
    list_folder(folder)
  File "/usr/share/doc/obexd-client/examples/list-folders", line 12, in list_folder
    session_path = client.CreateSession({ "Destination": sys.argv[1], "Target": "ftp"})

Bug #283064, comment 22 (bug closed as invalid) suggests that this
problem is caused by a mismatching version of `obex-data-server` and
offers a PPA (currently outdated) to solve this problem.

Bug #161 on obex-data-server's mantis
(http://bugs.muiline.com/view.php?id=161) from 2009 says that changing
the obex-data-server DBus config fixes this problems. They also applied
a patch to their SVN version.

Could you please fix this bug by backporting to Lucid versions of gnome-
bluetooth and obex-data-server that are compatible with each other?
Thank you.
