            Bug ID: 299382
          Severity: major
           Version: unspecified
          Priority: NOR
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
           Summary: Bluetooth Input Device Connections Do Not Resume
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux
          Reporter: keaneyw at gmail.com
          Hardware: Gentoo Packages
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
         Component: general
           Product: kde

KDE periodically loses track of paired bluetooth input devices, such as mice.
This usually occurs after suspending or hibernating and resuming. The device is
functional outside of KDE, for example on the VTY terminal.
KDE shows the device as connected and does not report any errors, but no
activity on the device results in interaction with the desktop.
Restarting bluetooth services, re-pairing the device, toggling the bluetooth
antenna state, power cycling the device, all have no effect.
Exiting and re-starting KDE restores functionality.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Pair a bluetooth input device, most notably a mouse.
2. Suspend the computer, or let the device sit idle enough for it to enter
power saving mode.
3. Resume the computer, or reactivate the device through activity.
Actual Results:  
There is no input in the KDE session.

Expected Results:  
If the device is connected, it should work in the X session regardless of
window manager.

I have used this hardware with Enlightenment DR17 for several months without
experiencing this problem.
The input device works fine in console, using gpm.
It only has trouble while using KDE.

I am using KDE 4.8.2.
