I have a BT mouse, which works. lspci doesn't see the adaptor, but lsusb
does. I finally worked out that I needed to run bluetooth-wizard from
the Shell (just once) to configure it. Presumably this is in some Gnome
menu, but I use KDE so it wasn't obvious.

I haven't tried file browsing recently as my iPhone doesn't support it,
at least without jailbreaking, but in the past I've done it via the
kbluetooth app to Nokia phones.
