Title:
  Can not pair with a Bluetooth device that needs a fixed PIN

Status in “gnome-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

  This is a long-standing bug, since Karmic or so, and still present in
  Natty.

  When pairing with a new device that needs a specific PIN (in my case,
  it is a Nonin 9650 oximeter), I choose PIN Options, choose Custom PIN
  and type the number of the needed PIN. Sometimes it works, but
  sometimes it insists on choosing a random PIN, which won't work with
  Nonin because it does not have a keyboard at all.

  Sometimes the bluetooth-applet does the right thing 66% of the time,
  but sometimes it simplly won't go with fixed PIN, even trying several
  times, so I am forced to use simple-agent script from BlueZ source.
  There is some "statistical" or "random" component in this behavior.
