Bluetooth applet doesn't discover any devices

[Krzysztof Kosinski]

Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

On a system upgraded to Karmic, the new Bluetooth applet doesn't detect any devices; the spinner just keeps working indefinitely and nothing appears. On the other hand 'hcitool scan' works correctly and detects all devices. The D-Bus interface, when used from Python, works correctly as well. I suspect it is a bug in the applet.

Additional info: I'm able to connect to already paired devices (for example to browse files through OBEX-FTP). It's only the discovery of new devices that doesn't work.

Oops, it seems that it's actually working, but it doesn't display devices that are already paired. Marking invalid.
