Hello.
I figured this one out all  on my own!  Here is a script in python that
uses dbus to get the bluetooth headset button press.  I think it might be
helpful to add this to the wiki.

<pre>

def handler(sender=None):
	os.system ('/usr/bin/twinkle --cmd answerbye') # <- that's the part
specific to twinkle
import dbus, os,  gobject
from dbus.mainloop.glib import DBusGMainLoop
DBusGMainLoop(set_as_default=True)
bus = dbus.SystemBus()
bus.add_signal_receiver(handler, signal_name="AnswerRequested")
loop = gobject.MainLoop()
loop.run()

</pre>

Dave
