Yup, it depends on a correctly configured Bluez system to actually work.

Nope, you can run the obex stuff seperately. But I like being able to
browse sdp:// in Konq.
It has kbtobexclient, which searches for phones then lets you send files
to them, and an obex server running as a daemon, so you can send files
to your PC at any time and it'll recieve them (with nice thumbnails,
and an option to choose where to save). The latest CVS versions also
have a Qt Pin helper, which is certainly preferable to bluepin (which
never worked for me).
Other fancy functionality includes serial chat, a systray icon to show
BT activity, bemused XMMS control, and the ability to have your PC go
into screensaver lock as soon as your phone/PDA goes out of range, then
unlock on return. Not everything's 100% yet, but it's maturing very
quickly.
There's talk of irmc sync stuff through Kitchensync, but I got the
impression that won't be around for a while yet. It would be great to
abandon Evolution and Multisync, though.

There's been a bit of chatter about it on the mailing list. There's
certainly some instructions out for building from tarballs on Fedora,
though possibly not on the main page.

My abbreviation, sorry. http://kde-bluetooth.sourceforge.net/ is the
main page, but Sourceforge appears to be screwy at the moment.
