Kevin,

Yes, I'm pretty aware of the problems having read about them on kde
bugzilla and launchpad. kdebluetooth-0.3 and backporting the Solid
support for the bluez-4 stack would seem to be the way forward.

Quite how a working desktop Bluetooth implementation was not a blocker
for the upstream KDE 4.2 release - well, I can't get my head around
that. It just reinforces yet again that KDE priorities are more focused
on eye candy than working desktop functionality. Oh well.

Regards

Clive
