Marcel,
    I think there are more users trying out bluez that are getting to 
the same problems (Lack of HowTo's)
and gravitating toward one of the common methods of resolving problems 
[Discussing such problems on user groups].

The group name (Bluez-users) seems (To me anyway) to imply for such 
discussions.
However, The messages posted here appear to be more on the development side.
 Isn't that why there is also a group called Bluez-development?

Im in the same boat. With two problems that SHOULD be relatively easy to 
locate info on resloving.
These are pretty common things, Id take a guess.
    1) Using KDE bluez interface, I can connect to nokia, But sending 
files constantly "STALLS"
          Encryption & Auth is turned off. (Who know's if is't supposed 
to be..... Lack of info again).
       *** I'd rather be using gnome, But KDE has GUI interface is 
already built.......Is there a WORKING gnome equal?
    2) Getting a simple headset/dongle to work with Bluez. Mabie it's 
does work, But I can't compile BTSCO drivers.

Im moderatly competant in using linux, But found good, Concise Bluez 
information/help to be sadly lacking - To the
extent that average users just don't know how to get it going! 

I will however be investigating to link 
(http://openobex.sourceforge.net/applications.html) that Jon Kristian 
was thoughtful enough to post.

Sorry to be blunt, Perhaps you are tired of Noob type questions and 
would rather palm em off into oblivion. But that's what it seems like.

ATB
    Michael.
