[Bug 241000] [NEW] Pairing: passcode dialogue disappears in <1 second

[Paul Sladen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: bluez-utils

The pairing dialogues to allow entering a pin and initiate pairing
disappear too fast.

If I do the following:

  sudo hcitool cc 00:19:DB:0A:xx:yy && sudo hcitool auth
00:19:DB:0A:xx:yy

a notifier window will pop up for ~1 second and then disappear.

If I click on the notifier window fastest, the main passcode/pincode
entry dialogue will disappear.  This also disappears within 1second.

The key seems to be that it is necessary to 'auth', click and 'pincode'
within 1 second of a connection being made.  This should actually wait
until the user is able to and none of the dialogue boxes should cut-off
early and disappear without warning.
