kdebluetooth under KDE-4.2

[Timothy Murphy]

What exactly is kdebluetooth meant to do?
As far as I can see it does nothing,
either by clicking on the Kdebluetooth4 icon in f->Applications
or by running kbluetooth4 .

What Fedora version are you using? We have different versions of the
Bluetooth stack including kdebluetooth in Fedora 9 and 10.

Sorry.
I'm running standard Fedora-10, updated.
I have a Bluetooth logo in my panel, from Kbluetooth4 (which is running).

When I left-click on this icon it seems to do nothing.
When I right-click on it I am offered the options
Send File, Device Manager, Settings, About and Quit,
none of when seem to do anything very useful.

It basically manages your Bluetooth Adapters, like in Gnome, they use:

http://live.gnome.org/GnomeBluetooth and PhoneManager, built on
GNOMEBluetooth.

Not to be rude, but have you tried the power of Google?

Not to be equally rude, but have you actually tried 
kdebluetooth-0.3-1.fc10.i386 (the current version)?

Or do you just know how it works?
If so, can you tell me how you use it to establish a bluetooth connection?
Neither of the documents you cite seems to me to explain this.

As I mentioned, I did not install bluez-gnome 
because I wanted to see if and how KBluetooth4 works.

No, I have not tried the latest version.

I'm not at home, I cannot try it, however, I have found screenshots.

http://linux.softpedia.com/screenshots/Kdebluetooth4_2.png sees that there
are options to select the device you want to use and a New Button to add new
devices.

Once you click new, you get
http://linux.softpedia.com/screenshots/Kdebluetooth4_3.png.

And I think this is not what you get when you write click, but their version
in gets http://linux.softpedia.com/screenshots/Kdebluetooth4_1.png...

Hmm...

Did you see anything like this?
