I tried to think about other ways to achieve this, but in the end I came full circle. :( My new idea was to always let the BT scan run while the BT device selection dialog is visible. After all, this is not a phone where battery is much of an issue. But trying to implement this, I realized that the current code supports multiple local BT devices and at the moment I have no way to test this. If I find someone with a BT USB-dongle, I will try again. So I'm going to create a pull request with my old approach [start()/stop()]. It does the right thing for me on Kubuntu, but will probably need some polishing on other OS. This is still RFC status, so please don't apply close to release.
