I have upgraded to Ubuntu 13.10.

And as usual, with the upgrade, a whole new bluetooth issue, which this times makes transferring files from the phone to the computer (which already was painful) completely impossible!

How I reproduce (100% systematic):
1 - click on the Bluetooth icon in the notification area
2 - from the dropdown menu, choose "bluetooth settings"
3 - select the phone among the listed devices
4 - click on "Browse files"
5 - A Nautilus windows opens, allowing me to browse files on the phone. Open the DCIM/Camera folder
6 - Select a couple of files. Either drag and drop them, or copy and then paste them, into a folder on the computer

=> I systematically get an error, but it can be any of the two variants shown in the two screenshots (one says there was an error copying the file, the other says there was an error getting information about the file; in both cases the given reason is "another operation in progress". Note also that in one case there is a Retry button, in the other there is not - pure nonsense).

I then "ejected" the phone with the eject button next to its name in Nautilus, and repeated the whole process.

I randomly get any of three outcomes:
- the one described above (MOST of the times)
- at step 4, I get an error "This location could not be displayed. Another operation in progress", so I cannot even browse files
or
- at some point (not sure whether it was at step 4 above or when "ejecting" the phone) something CRASHES (I get the usual Ubuntu message informing me of that).
