** Description changed:

  To receive a file from a paired device using bluetooth you must select
  "Receive files in Downloads folder over Bluetooth" in the Personal File
  Sharing Preferences. If the user does not know this, they will simply
  get connection errors on the bluetooth device (in my case an Android
  phone) and no errors or notifications on ubuntu showing why the error is
  occuring.
  
  It would be nice to notify the user when an incoming file is being
  requested and this setting is disabled that this option must be enabled
  for transfers to work.  This warning could then be disabled by a "Don't
  show this anymore" message.
