[Bug 774250] [NEW] Can not pair with a Bluetooth device that needs a fixed PIN

[EPx]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-bluetooth

This is a long-standing bug, since Karmic or so, and still present in
Natty.

When pairing with a new device that needs a specific PIN (in my case, it
is a Nonin 9650 oximeter), I choose PIN Options, choose Custom PIN and
type the number of the needed PIN. Sometimes it works, but sometimes it
insists on choosing a random PIN, which won't work with Nonin because it
does not have a keyboard at all.

Sometimes the bluetooth-applet does the right thing 66% of the time, but
sometimes it simplly won't go with fixed PIN, even trying several times,
so I am forced to use simple-agent script from BlueZ source. There is
some "statistical" or "random" component in this behavior.
