help with bluetooth in slack1337


hey
i just wanted to have my bluetooth working in my os but i cant figure out how to do that.
i just made rc.bluetooth executable and ran it. now i have bluetooth icon in KDE but i cant do anything. nothing of the items like "set up new" or "send file" works. when i click them nothing happens. sometimes it says somethings about "blueman" or "blueman-manager".
also when i click "adapters" it just show an empty dialog with a close button and "bluetooth..." title.

i have ran "hcitool scan" and it scans successfully but why the icon doesnt work?

im not an expert so what should i do?

thx in advance

Slackware is missing bluedevil which does everything for KDE bluetooth integration.
Its available here for KDE 4.6.4, but you might also find the build script handy.
