Hello everyone!

We've been having one problem so far related to file transfer and
obex-data-server. In the kded we listen for new incoming file
transfers, and when one happens we send the information about that
file transfer session to a dbus-service that autostarts and deals with
it. So far so good, but it seems that obex-data-server doesn't like
dealing with multiple processes in this case: one is the kded, which
connects first to org.openobex.Manager for creating a bluetooth
server, and then when the server is created it connects with the
sessionCreated/sessionRemoved/errorOccured signals. Then there is the
bluetooth-helper, which connects to the org.openobex.ServerSession
when the kded tells it to do so. If I connect with the
org.openobex.ServerSession inside the kded without a helper,
everything works. Thing is, that's not the kded job..

In dbus monitor I don't get any org.freedesktop.X "do not have
permissions" signal so this doesn't seem to be a dbus-policy problem.
Instead, I get Cancelled+Disconnected signals in my
org.openobex.ServerSession, but then the transfer gets started, and I
get an org.openobex.Error.NotAuthorized answer to the Accept dbus
method call in the org.openobex.ServerSession. It's quite chaotic. I'm
going to ask to obex-data-server people to see what they can tell me.
Hope to have news soon in this front. Or maybe any of you know what
could be happening?
