The more I think on this, the more it aggravates me. I was scrolling through
the posts earlier to see if any of the dev's have even spoken up about it,
and I came across something to the effect of "not having time to fix it".
This isn't some obscure mouse that for some reason doesn't work, it's an
entire system and along with it, an array of devices. Mice, Keyboards,
modems, wireless/wired cards, headsets, etc. It's not even a single brand of
blue-tooth, but all of them. So far as I have read, it's not working in
Jaunty either... which is due in 3 months. How many distro's are we going to
go through before Bluetooth becomes important. Alot of people rely on it, I
for one have an external logitech BT keyboard I've missed using. And despite
what other people think, I don't believe borrowing Gnome packages for a
purely KDE distro is a "fix". If I had a porche and the engine broke, I'd
fix it, I wouldn't replace it with one from a VW Beetle. Not trying to start
a "flame war" over gnome vs kde, but if I wanted to fill my hard-drive with
gnome packages, don't you think I would have installed ubuntu instead of
kubuntu?
