Nokia bluetooth set won't pair anymore

[Klistvud]

Hi listers.

My Nokia BH-103 headset used to work flawlessly in Lenny/Gnome until
twenty or so days ago. Then, one day, it wouldn't connect. After many
unsuccessful retries I deleted it from the list of Bonded devices in
the gnome bluetooth-applet window. Well, after that, the applet will
not ask for a passphrase no matter what I try, and thus, I can't pair
the headset to the computer anymore. Does anyone know where bluetooth-
applet keeps its configuration files (bonded devices) so I can try to
change them manually? And, no, it's not in /etc/bluetooth, I've checked
there and those are just default files, there are no actual bonded
devices listed (such as my Nokia phone which is bonded flawlessly).

Thx in advance!

was: Nokia bluetooth set won't pair anymore.

In short: I'm looking for
the *location of config files* where bluetooth-applet keeps its list of
paired (bonded) devices. What I do know: it's NOT in /etc/bluetooth and
it's NOT a per-user configuration (ALL the users on my system are
affected). Grepping for a known good bluetooth device (a GSM phone that
pairs OK) yielded insignificant results.

I was quite intrigued by this, so I spent a while rooting around and
experimenting (the documentation here is pretty scanty) until I found
it:

/var/lib/bluetooth

The files under that directory:

names a list of device names and their corresponding bluetooth device addresses (BDAs)
lastseen a list of BDAs and the corresponding timestamps of when they were last seen
lastused ditto, mutatis mutandis
trusts a list of BDAs and their trust statuses

etc.

Why on earth the data is stored there I leave to the great gurus.
