which version of gnome-bluetooth? Did you update?
The gui will not open without it crashing, so I can't open Help->About. If there is a command line to get the version I will enter it in this bug. I checked for updates and yum reported it was up to date. After restarting the program still locks up.
open a terminal: $ rpm -q gnome-bluetooth gives you the information I need. :-)
From the commad above: gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-10.1 gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-11.fc6
wow... two versions installed.. try: $ rpm -e gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-10.1
That uninstalled the problem program. However I no longer have "Bluetooth Manager" and no obvious way to scan, setup, and use new Bluetooth devices.
Gnome-bluetooth-manager was removed from the latest upstream (and Fedora) versions of gnome-bluetooth package. Was removed from current FC-6 version too(first version with completely removed gnome-bluetooth-manager is gnome-bluetooth-0.7.0-11.fc6). Closing WONTFIX, AFAIK upstream is working on completely new bluetooth manager, so this old won't be fixed.
