i think thats a fairly massive understatement :) out of my four
bluetooth devices exactly zero work with teh current bluetooth
implementation ... beyond that teh current gnome-bluez stack tries to
call nautilus for the obex protocol, but apparently gvfs didnt learn
about that yet, which means you just end up with an error about it being
not supported ... if we cant upgrade i'd actually propose  to drop
bluetooth support altogether unless anyone speaks up for whom *anything*
works ... since thats a massive regression in functionallity we really
should see to get the 4.x stack in imho....
