[Pkg-bluetooth-maintainers] Bug#489932: /usr/bin/bluetooth-applet: bluetooth-applet does not accept files

[Marius Mikucionis]

Package: bluez-gnome
Version: 0.26-2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/bluetooth-applet

Symptoms:
bluetooth-applet does not accept files, no matter what.

When started from command line it says the following:

Bluetooth OBEX start failed: Invalid path


This is highly uninformative and unhelpful.

There's a revealing discussion here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.devel/15680

and here:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/bluez-devel/msg00180.html

a simple workaround is to install xdg-user-dirs package and run
xdg-user-dirs-update as a user.

I propose to include xdg-user-dirs-update as dependency for bluez-gnome,
or at least as a recomendation, because it cannot work without the config 
file created by xdg-user-dirs-update.

It might be the case that the bug does not appear if gnome is 
installed "fresh", however I installed whole Debian fresh, and moved my
home directory from an old system and thus this still came out 
as a problem.
