Comment 33 for bug 284994

I must say I find the upstream reaction rather less helpful and optimal. (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=560315#c5)

bluez-gnome seems to intent to special case each non-keyboard device in their source code rather than just allowing people to enter a fixed PIN in the wizard. Hardcoding the stuff is bound to lag behind existing devices and seems a rather bloaty solution to me. Most of the time people would know best whether to use 1234 or 0000 or somesuch. Whatever.

As a consequence, I stop caring about upstream and work around this with a custom shell script.
