Yes, I know, I've implemented this in the Bluetooth Manager.

Yes, but it's the reality. I've spent a lot of time to fix many problems.

Ok, (If you wish to listen, of course). The best way to do something - 
to get a clear understanding what are we going to do, next - make a plan 
of actions, then do implementations, and again and again and again. This 
is a practice I'm trying to follow by discussing my solutions with 
community members.
What I currently see in BT system - a lot of "patch and fix". Bt obex 
that doesn't seem to receive, Manager that did (now it does something) 
nothing.
This is the only way to make a good software.
Otherwise OPIE will be "just a toy for babies".
Dmitriy.
