(Get the code!)
With Jaunty I am able to send files to pc from my Nokia N70 mobile phone, iff I 1) am running gnome-obex-server, or 2) have gnome-user-share configured to receive bluetooth files.
regarding gnome-obex-server: Are users supposed to know they need to install this? Are they also supposed to understand they have to start it from a menu everytime they want to receive files?
regarding gnome-user-share: Are users supposed to know they need to install this? After they have installed it, are they supposed to understand that they have to go to System -> Preferences -> Personal File Sharing to turn the bluetooth receiving on? After it is enabled, it does not immediately work because first bluetooth transfer starts the service, but it does not get up in time to answer to receive the file. When the user gets this error is he supposed to understand he should retry? Once the file transfer succeeds an ugly looking icon remains in the notification-area, and there is no way to interact with that icon, and even more importantly you simply cannot get rid of the icon, no matter what you do.
In previous Ubuntu releases I understood that the actual bluetooth application that sits in my notification area should have been able to handle all this. The only problem was it didn't work. No the thing might have gone worse. We have a working solution that is really hard to understand.
