Bug#417692: gnome-vfs-obexftp: Not enough information

FYI, the next version of gnome-vfs-obexftp will not require the "-x"
argument to hcid.

Instead of using hcid to create/destroy /dev/rfcommX files, it uses
Bluetooth RFCOMM sockets.  As well as making connection a bit faster,
this also means that it will work with newer bluez-utils where the
org.bluez.RFCOMM interface has been replaced by
org.bluez.serial.Manager.

Note that hcid is still used for device enumeration, but that feature
does not require the "-x" flag.

The relevant upstream bug report is:
