Bug Description
Binary package hint: bluez-utils
In order to search for Bluetooth devices from the GUI one needs to first run this command:
sudo hciconfig hci0 inqmode 0
Only then do the GUI applications detect discoverable Bluetooth devices.
GUI applications: nautilus-sendto, gnome-phone-

Actually someone needs to finally fix these UI components. The Linux kernel and the D-Bus API for Bluetooth work perfectly fine with higher inquiry modes.
