Extra info:

The pair requests from the Apple Magic trackpad "are seen" by Ubuntu 13.10; both within Unity, Gnome and also in Cinnamon 2.0!

A 'pairing-request-fill-in-pincode" DOES appear, but it does NOT let you the time nor the possibility to fill in '0000'; by that time the small screen is long gone again.... Each time the trackpad sends out a pairing-request this small 'pin-screen' does appear but one is not able to fill in the pin...

Also... the trackpad is detected as 'tablet'; not as 'input device' which is wrong.
And ... the automatic pin '0000' option for input devices, once chosen, does NOT fill in this very pin either upon pairing request!
It's a real nuisance as for other, earlier versions I've been pairing manually each and every time!! Which should not be necessary as OSX pairs automatically!

And, when the trackpad had been used in OSX, restarting directly into Ubuntu 12.04 at the time, pairing failed as well.
I have the impression once it's warm rebooted, it does not pair either! Cold reboots in the past with earlier versions DID let me (manually) pair it! Never warm reboots succeeded either; as if the trackpad was still 'seen' by the (hardware) side of things!

Hope this clarifies the bug also a bit!
