sure you do :-)
DBUS calls have changed quite a lot between bluez3 and bluez4. I face
the same problem for QtEi, but I don't feel like doing all that work
on my own there (it's quite a big code change). So for now QtEi has no
bluetooth in newer kernels (if they don't provide the bluez3 package
anymore).
