Description of problem:

Have been trying to connect a RIKALINE GPS Bluetooth dongle
and to do so I need to be able to enter the devices pin code
but when using the Bluetooth device wizard it detects the device
fine then it tries to pair with the devices with some random pin number it ask me to enter a pin on the device ( for a split second ) the fails to connect

Now the problem here is on this particular device I cannot enter
a pin code I need to set the pin code manually on the client that is trying to connect to the device to be able to pair with it.

I believe this causing a trouble for a lot of people since theres a lot of
devices out there that have a default pin of 1234 or 0000 etc...

[root@localhost bluetooth]# hcitool scan && hcitool inq
Scanning ...
 00:00:00:00:54:4D Rikaline
Inquiring ...
 00:00:00:00:54:4D clock offset: 0x75a1 class: 0x000000

The default pin is 0000

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gnome-bluetooth-0.11.0-5.fc10.x86_64
gnome-bluetooth-libs-0.11.0-5.fc10.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click the bluetooth icon
2. Setup new device
3.

Actual results:

The wizard fails to pair with device.

Expected results:

The wizard to be able to pair with the device
if it fails with a random pin then try common ones ( 1234 or 0000 etc ) if that fails prompt the user to enter the pin then try to pair with it again.
