[Bug 1094744] Re: MS Sculpt Touch Mouse needs to be re-paired periodically

[Marcos Barbosa]

Rostislav,

Please look at this file:
/usr/share/kde4/apps/bluedevilwizard/pin-code-database.xml

Is the same function and format the file I mentioned.

Please untrust your device and add the line in this file. Restart your
machine for sure and test if all work and report back.

If work may be someone create a patch.

Best regards.
