OK, I went and did a fresh install of the LXDE spin on both my 64-bit and older 32-bit laptops. Then updated everything, and installed gnome-bluetooth, and went into gnome-control-center. On the 64-bit machine (Dell Lattitude E5400 or the Thinkpad T61), I get a blank grey window. On the 32-bit Dell Latitude D610, I get a window with lots of icons. No messages on the terminal window. Thoroughly confused as to what is going on, except that I had no problems till Fedora 14. Are there alternatives to using Gnome in order to get the cellphone dial-up networking working via bluetooth?
