Bug Description

Under 10.4, my laptop's built-in Cambridge Silicon Bluetooth worked.

However, under 12.4, it does not:
Activating the adapter causes /usr/sbin/bluetoothd to be launched, HOWEVER, none of the blueman- programs work:
blueman-adapters shows no adapters at all (indeed, all it shows is a tiny window, not even large enough to contain the window title, with a [X close] button, and that's it - not even a way to expand the window to show the title.)blueman
blueman-manager has both the Adapter and Device menu entries greyed out.
blueman-browse fails:
blueman-browse

SetAdapter (/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/blueman/gui/DeviceList.py:301)

I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. When I run /usr/sbin/bluetoothd -nd I get the following output:
