Ok, ok, i know, you don't like here so much bluetooth, but me and i
think a lot of other simple users need it on a daily base. Anyway . .
. Playing around with 12.10 i386 on a netbook i realize that lubunto
points to blueman (instead of gnome bluetooth - when i tried to delete
it in synaptic i saw lubuntu desktop would have to go with, which
indicates there is a dependency). Blueman shows up correctly as
bluetooth manager in System Settings. So far, so good.

BUT: if there is blueman it should cooperate with pcmanfm - and in the
version which comes automatically by installation it does not. When i
try to read files on a bluetooth device, blueman laments about no
thunar there ;) I know it's not absolutely trivial but really easy to
adapt blueman to pcmanfm. Here comes the instruction how it works:

(go to the linked discussion in the blueman forum as well - musial
gave save one point a perfect instruction). Substitute pcmanfm to
dolphin. May be that helper files could be put on to the installation
cd?

A final note: I still did not try out practically how blueman does. In
my experience it was slow, at least slower than gnome-bluetooth. On
intel based computers that diefference wasn' t really a big affair, on
the mac ppc blueman was dead slow and practically unuseable.
