Well I just "upgraded" my laptop to Xubuntu Intrepid, and was dismayed
to find out that I couldn't send pictures from my phone to the pc. I've
had the same results as everyone here; I could send to the phone (an LG
KU990 "Viewty") but not from the phone to the PC.

My workaround (which is better than attacking the PC with a hammer :) )
after a lot of experimenting was to use Synaptic to install the gnome-
bluetooth package and that made the
"Applications->Accessories->Bluetooth File Sharing" thingie appear on
the menu. This seems to work for file reception. Of course now I don't
have the handy "Send this file"  but I can fire up the bluetooth-applet
for that.

The "browse" function still doesn't work, but then I never had that on
Dapper so I can live without it.

A bit clunky, but at least I can transfer files. Hopefully this will get
fixed sometime.
