Hi Bastien,

Hi,

I have never followed bluez-gnome developement and I might have some gaps in knowlegde of made decisions.

Is it really intentional not to have user specified passkey as an option? Of course there can be a list of "known pincodes" but frankly I don't believe all the codes will be there in some point. At least the list should be editable by the user?
