Hi,
Rawhide/Fedora 15 contains new BlueDevil stack. It's actually much more better 
than kbluetooth - but some people reports kbluetooth works better for them. 

We are preparing BlueDevil for kde-rh unofficial repositories as we do not want to 
break Fedora 14 setups. It's still under development (but already released as 
stable one).

Another possibility is to try BlueMan - Gnome based utility. It works quite well 
- to find and setup all devices but I cane see one crash per hour :)
