Wow, this looks great. :-)

A few minor points: you need to add:

<append key="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Bluetooth.method_argnames"
type="strlist">foo</append>

for the introspection stuff to work correctly.

Ohh, and the Makefile doesn't work for me on fedora:

gcc -g `pkg-config --cflags hal glib` `pkg-config --libs hal glib`
hal-system-bluetooth-browse.c -o hal-system-bluetooth-browse

should probably be:

gcc -g `pkg-config --cflags hal glib-2.0` `pkg-config --libs hal
glib-2.0` hal-system-bluetooth-browse.c -o hal-system-bluetooth-browse

else I get "glib-config: command not found"

Also you probably want to replace /usr/lib/hal with /usr/libexec as this
is where the files in CVS go.

And you probably want a:

cp 20-bluetooth-methods.fdi /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/

in the install line too.

The patch shows up my bluetooth adapter, but doesn't populate any
devices when I do:

dbus-send --system
--dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_f4d_1000_noserial_if0_bluetooth_hci org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Bluetooth.Scan

I've tried with and without hcid and sdpd running.

Hope that helps,

Richard.
