Couldn't pair my Logitech k810 keyboard & Parrot by Starck speaker aswell with those bluetooth gui tools - it just crashes when it would come up to enter the pairing PIN.
Systems I'm using are on Mint 14 Nadia (htpc) and Ubuntu 12.10 Quantal (laptop). Jake Brown's comment #9 describes how to workaround this issue!
