Untrusted input devices by default

Untrusted input devices by default

Hello:

In my efforts to get BlueZ 4.x into Intrepid a question was posed.  How
come input devices don't default to "Trusted" when paired in the
Wizard?  This makes for a weird experience the next time you reboot (or
disconnect the device for that matter) that you need to give it
"authorization".

that is a bug. We should set the input device as trusted after we
connected to it. Any chance you have a patch for it?

I thought I was testing this a couple of weeks ago and it was working
fine.

Hi David:

I have just verified myself this is still broke with a couple of input =
devices and some folks in Ubuntu are reporting it too.

I don't have a patch ATM, but I'll see what I can come up with.
