Right click the icon, hit 'disable bluetooth', then right click it again
and hit 'enable bluetooth'. Or do 'service bluetooth stop' then 'service
bluetooth start' as root at a console. It's a known bug in the bluez
package in the Beta, it's been fixed since then (so 'yum update' should
also get you a bluez that works).
