1. I didn't understand exactly how to use your program.
Do you run it in the background?

2. How exactly is one meant to pair devices in Bluez
if one is running KDE (under Fedora)?

Kdebluetooth 4 (or kbluetooth4) seems to be intended for this purpose
(what other purpose could it have?) but it does not work
as far as I can see.

3. I don't understand why one cannot put the Bluetooth PIN
in a file, as one used to be able to do.

4. It seems to me a great pity that I have to run Windows
in order to pair with my Sony-Ericsson phone.
