Thanks. I hate to sound like a whiner who doesn't like editing
configuration files for this sort of thing but... well... I don't like
editing configuration files for this sort of thing. Not that it's
hard, but is there a GUI out there that will make it easier?

I agree with you, there should be a better way to achieve this. But I didn't
find it so long.

Made no discernable difference for me. :(
This is in my /etc/default/bluetooth:
HIDD_OPTIONS="--connect 00:07:61:35:FE:A9 --connect 00:19:7F:21:EE:73 --master --server"
The mouse, which works, is 00:07:61:35:FE:A9. The other one is the
headset, which I still have to explicitly pair with in order to
connect.

Thilo,
is there some test I can do to experience the difference you think I
ought to see once this is done? Maybe my usual test (using skype)
couldn't work anyway, so I want to see if your suggestion made any
difference at all.
Thanks,
