As near as I can tell, the theory is that hidd is obsolete and the
new InputService does the job. I accidentally stumbled across a
wiki page that gave an example of some dbus gibberish used to
feed the input service various info:

(I've rarely seen such dense gibberish .
OK I use KDE.
I just powered up my Dell D610 laptop and did
yum install kdebluetooth.
Checked that service bluetooth status showed bluetooth was running.
Then went to
K -> System -> Bluetooth Wizard
I switched on the BT mouse and it was listed - and I clicked connect - and
hit the rest button on the mouse. It paired and works fine.
I don't know what the equivalent Gnome method is but this works fine for KDE.
