gnome-bluetooth doesn't actually do anything useful, does it? What were
you trying to do?
For dialup, you want /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf set up to
bind /dev/rfcomm0 to the phone in question, then you just use it with
the normal ppp scripts.
For synchronisation of addressbook, calendar, etc. you want multisync.
For placing and receiving voice calls you want Asterisk and
chan_bluetooth.
I once got a bluetooth mouse to pair. But alas, it's scroll
wheel
didn't work,
Interesting. File a bug, show hcidump output when you were using the
scroll wheel.

detected
in the first place.
Yeah, getting nice point-and-drool tools would be nice. They're coming
