This solution solved my problem too. If the Input service option is 
already activated and the blutooth device (mouse) is not connected, then 
the input dialog won't appear and it not possible to choose the 
bluetooth device. So i had to un-check the "Input Service" in the 
services tab first and check this option then the input devices dialog 
appaears and the input bluetooth devices are listed in this dialog.
I think this behavior is not well documented.
