FC4 bluetooth pairing problems, phone <-> laptop? (OK in FC3)

[Des Johnston]

As a postscript, a DBT120 bluetooth USB dongle _will_ initialize if the 
firmware is installed seperately using bluez-firmware tarball.

However, the failure to pair with a Nokia 6630 phone persists if the USB 
dongle is used instead of an Armadillo CF BT adapter on the x21 laptop or 
even on a desktop machine. Is there a generic problem with the bluez stack 
in FC4 and this phone (or others)? It was happy enough to pair up in FC3 
with either CF or USB adapters on the same machines.
