I have given up on BT for the moment. Under Windows there's a utility 
which shows the mouse, the keyboard, the printer, and all the nearby 
cell phones. Under Linux there's an icon which you can click (using a 
PS2 mouse) which does nada. And after downloading all the bluez stuff 
without reading the documentation (there is none on using the software, 
as you note), no amount of clicking, typing, or swearing made anything 
happen.
