Bug Description
I am using a Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 on a Lenovo W500 laptop under Ubuntu 8.10.
The mouse worked fine after initial installation. However if the laptop is powered off and then restarted, the mouse no longer works (moving the mouse results in no cursor motion). The mouse is still reported under the System | Preferences | Bluetooth | Known devices window as a 'Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000' although it has a white letter 'i' in a blue circle next to the name. What this means I have no idea.
The only way I have found to recover mouse operation (until the next shutdown of course) is to delete the device from the list (using the Trash can icon) and then perform a device setup ('Setup new device...') action again. Obviously this is painful to do after every restart of the computer.
Please advise how I may assist in resolving this issue.

Thank you for this bug report.
I selected package gnome-bluetooth.
Sounds like a bug, but maybe could be just a question.
