Comment 12 for bug 175743

I have been testing with my patched copy of blues-utils for a week now, and have noticed no ill effects. The mouse and keyboard reconnect within a second or two of pressing a key or moving the device, regardless of how long they have been idle.

Unless someone has a solid reason why this is no good, I recommend integrating this patch and testing it with a wider array of hardware, in preparation for release as an update. It should serve at least until the bluez upstream developers figure out a long-term solution.
