I'm running F20 XFCE and the bluetooth app leaves a lot to be

I've been using Blueman before upgrading and it was great. Currently
I'm using the KDE systray app (bluedevil?)
There's no obvious way to install blueman; yum just says it was
deprecated by bluez -- which is not true (it only is in the sense that
the older blueman version is not compatible with bluez5)
Right, Fedora moved to bluez5, and blueman doesn't work with bluez5.
Does anyone know how to get blueman running (hopefully without
having
to compile it)?
You would not only have to build blueman, but bluez4 and rebuild all
your applications with it and possibly port some of them back to 4 that
dropped support for it. ;(
Happily, I see there is development again on porting blueman to bluez5,
so when/if that happens hopefully it will be shipped again.
