To answer that last bit first, I did install Blueman, which some
people claim is quite good. Previously was using BlueDevil which is
the standard for KDE.
The headset DOES work with my Nokia phone, and the Nokia phone does do
file transfers with my computer.
In any case, out of desperation, I installed gnome in my Squeeze
system. I figure if I can get bluetooth to work there, maybe I can
transfer things back to KDE. (OR, quite possibly, I may become a
Gnome fan). The interesting thing is that pulseaudio was installed by
default in the gnome package.
I'm going to take a break before I try anything else. I will report
if there's anything interesting.
