Currently, there isn't a wizard applet to setup input device, bluez-gnome and KDEBluetooth will support this functionality soon. Bear in mind that an authorization agent(bluez-gnome implements it) is required to authorize the incomming connection, alternatively you can add this device in the trusted list to skip authorizations. dbus-send examples are a workaround for testing purpose. We have reconnect problems with some buggy keyboards, otherwise the service is working fine. BR, Claudio.
