Although this is generally true and works fine for me most of the time
(going away on vacation, coming back 10 days later and the keyboard/mouse
reconnects immediately), sometimes it fails. Then i have to massage the
system quite a bit (replug the BT dongle, multiple hidd --search and
pressing the connect button on the keyboard/mouse required until it
suddenly works again).

So there might still be a bug in there. Unfortunately i was unable to
reproduce it (and in the way of doing so write down what i _exactly_
had to do to get it working) and after me fixing it in "headless chicken
mode" the logs are probably too polluted to be useful.

If i encounter it the next time, i try to be more careful and capture
hcidump -V -X etc.

Oh - and it seems to happen more often on some hardware (never had it
on my epox CSR based keyboard/mouse, but the Microsoft BT Desktop shows
it more often). Generally, this seems to be happen less frequently with
a recent system than, say, a year ago.
