Unfortunately my CD writer decreed that the Fedora Unity ISO was too large.
In the end I installed the standard (Gnome) Live CD,
and I had no problem pairing my phone, and generally using Bluetooth.

It's a pity one has to use Gnome to do this.
If KDE can't get kdebluetooth working, I would have thought
just putting the bluetooth key in a file would be a simple solution.
