Bug Description

SRU JUSTIFICATION:
An easy to reproduce crasher when changing settings for bluetooth headsets. It seems to be affecting a lot of people and the patches are not very intrusive.

TEST CASE:
1) Connect a bluetooth headset.
2) Open bluetooth properties, select the added device.
3) Click the Sound Settings button
4) Move to the Hardware tab in the Sound Settings panel; then select the bluetooth headset device.
5) Click Speaker Test; then click the Test button to start a sound test.

* Without the patch and immediately after adding a new bluetooth headset device; you would see a crash of gnome-control-center: the control center application will disappear.
* With the patch, the sound test completes and other sound settings are available.

Perhaps I have a problem that relates to this. I am using Ubuntu 11.10 Alpha 3 64-bit on HP Probook 4510s.

When I choose to browse files on a paired device (via a bluetooth indicator menu) the CPU becomes heavily loaded and no Nautilus window is opened. The same operation can be done on the same notebook with 11.04 64-bit without any problem.

Yup, and it appears to be working great, I've been fiddling with g-c-c for a while and I've been unable to reproduce the crashes I could easily get before.

Tested gnome-bluetooth 3.2.0-0ubuntu2 - I was able to transfer files and they worked properly.
Earlier file transfers were crashing gnome-bluetooth.
