What I find odd is that it suggests bluez is somehow connected to gnome. As a KDE user I find it strange that I have to use a gnome application. This doesn't offend me, but I assumed - wrongly as it happened - that installing bluez-gnome would require a whole slew of gnome applications. As far as I can see, one has to have bluez-gnome just to establish pairing. Is that right? I don't understand why you can't just put the code in a file. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
