Won't blueman work on MATE?
Fred -- You may want to take this over to the centos list where
others of us have dealt with this.
I used an fc bluetooth rpm with centos-7/mate-1.8, With mate-1.10
that stopped working so I switched to blueman (2.x...fc22) whose gui
I like better than bluetooth's. This still works with mate-1.12.
