I'm using the Logitech MX5500 Bluetooth, and other than needing to add the numlockx startup fix, everything is now working out of the box on Jaunty 9.04 (fresh installation). I no longer need to use the USB HID mode (disable bluez) as I did in 8.04 and 8.10, and instead finally! have both keyboard and mouse (MX Revolution) paired properly through the Bluetooth Manager. Bluetooth devices (headphones) also work through the same dongle.
The only thing I need to do on startup is 'bash' on the modifier keys (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, Super, Caps Lock) at least once before trying to use the keyboard. Possibly there is something in bluez which is not initialising the keyboard 100% properly - i.e. the problem which Jack is experiencing and my modifier keys issue above may somehow be related. This also happens after the computer has been idle (screen black, or screen saver starts), and I've become quite used to toggling all modifiers before starting work again. So it may or may not have anything to do with bluez itself, or it may have something to do with power management or other system elements.
