good point. these are also very much left to the distro maintainers to include 
in their releases, and while most (hopefully all?) of us working on the 
workspaces use them, they really aren't integrated into our work on workspaces 
as a whole, and they ought to be.

otherwise, how can we decide how bluetooth *ought* to be integrated with the 
rest of workspace bits, etc. right now it's "random" in that we hope people 
will notice what needs doing and do it (the bluedevil+neetworkmanagement work 
that happened last year was a great example of that scheme actually working 
out :)

to state the obvious: this will become another attempt at broadening the 
workspace scope and development inclusiveness. i hope i don't blunt anyone's 
enthusiasm when i say that the last try did not produce any real results. 
that's ok: trying and not succeeding is fine; we learn from it and then try 
again until we do succeed.
 

i'll start a new thread in a bit about the multiple-repository issue.

indeed, it will get more complicated rather than less.
