How to send files through Bluetooth in KDE
This little howto is based on dmnet's method which you will find on Kde-look.org:
http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=14104
All the credits go to him/her. I have modified his/her file so that you don't need to set your device's MAC.
How to install it
su
pacman -Sy gnome gnome-bluetooth bluez-libs obexftp openobex
exit
cd $HOME/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/servicemenus/
wget http://www.webalice.it/albertomilone/ubuntu/nvidia/bluetooth.desktop
How to use it
Plug in your bluetooth dongle
Launch "/System/Bluetooth Manager" from the Kmenu (this app will run in the background)
Now you can use your mouse cursor to select the file you want to send to your bluetooth device
Right click on the file, select "Actions" and then "Send through Bluetooth"
A window will show up and you should be able to see your bluetooth devices (if not, you can press the "Refresh" button)
Select the desired device.
Enjoy!

NOTE:
If you're wondering why I wrote this howto instead of using KDE Bluetooth Framework you should have a look a the following link:
http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?do_Details=1&ID=291&O=0&L=0&C=0&K=bluetooth&SB=&SO=&PP=25&do_MyPackages=0&do_Orphans=0&SeB=nd
It looks like "at the moment, Kdebluetooth doesn't work with new openobex release".
