This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has
changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if
this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report
against it and we will take it from there.

Title:
  Bluetooth keyboard and mouse aren't being paired; handle disconnects
  poorly

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: bluez

  I have a bluetooth keyboard and mouse, and they do not seem to be
  pairing properly in karmic.  My Palm Centro, however, paired just
  fine.  Since the keyboard and mouse aren't paired, when they
  disconnect (i.e. I move my laptop somewhere else), they are unable to
  reconnect when I am in range.

  I added all three devices through the bluetooth wizard from the Gnome
  bluetooth-applet.

  Querying the DBus interface to Bluez (using Python as my vector):
  >>> import dbus
  >>> sb = dbus.SystemBus()
  >>> o = sb.get_object('org.bluez', '/org/bluez/2090/hci0/dev_00_1D_FE_1D_D5_BC')
  >>> print o.GetProperties(dbus_interface='org.bluez.Device')
  dbus.Dictionary({dbus.String(u'Name'): dbus.String(u"mokomull's Centro", variant_level=1), dbus.String(u'Paired'): dbus.Boolean(True, variant_level=1), dbus.String(u'Adapter'): dbus.ObjectPath('/org/bluez/2090/hci0', variant_level=1), ......}, signature=dbus.Signature('sv'))

  The above is my phone, which shows Paired: True.

  Repeating the above on my mouse:
  >>> o = sb.get_object('org.bluez', '/org/bluez/2090/hci0/dev_00_07_61_9B_0B_B8')
  >>> print o.GetProperties(dbus_interface='org.bluez.Device')
  dbus.Dictionary({dbus.String(u'Name'): dbus.String(u'Bluetooth Laser Travel Mouse', variant_level=1), dbus.String(u'Paired'): dbus.Boolean(False, variant_level=1), dbus.String(u'Connected'): dbus.Boolean(False, variant_level=1), ......}, signature=dbus.Signature('sv'))

  This says Paired: False.  It also says Connected: False, but the Gnome
  bluetooth applet still shows them in bold, indicating that they are
  connected.  They also never show up in the device search again.

  I removed them by using the org.bluez.Adapter.RemoveDevice() DBus
  method, which then let me add them through the bluetooth wizard again.
  This is a bit tedious for the end user to do.

  The expected behavior is that the devices get paired with my laptop so
  that they automatically reconnect.
