Well I dont know of a way to do it from the GUI, but you could make a script from the below and run it from QBC or launcher etc.

See the little python script in http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Manually_using_Bluetooth to get an idea. The one I use is this (I cant remember where it came from - I cant claim it as my own):

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python

import sys
import time
import dbus
from optparse import OptionParser, make_option

bus = dbus.SystemBus()

manager = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object("org.bluez", "/"), "org.bluez.Manager")

option_list = [
		make_option("-i", "--device", action="store",
				type="string", dest="dev_id"),
		]
parser = OptionParser(option_list=option_list)

(options, args) = parser.parse_args()

if options.dev_id:
	adapter_path = manager.FindAdapter(options.dev_id)
else:
	adapter_path = manager.DefaultAdapter()

adapter = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object("org.bluez", adapter_path), "org.bluez.Adapter")

if (len(args) < 1):
	print "Usage: %s <address> [service]" % (sys.argv[0])
	sys.exit(1)

address = args[0]

if (len(args) < 2):
	service = "panu"
else:
	service = args[1]

device = adapter.FindDevice(address)

network = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object("org.bluez", device), "org.bluez.Network")

iface = network.Connect(service)

print "Connected %s to %s" % (device, address)

#print "Press CTRL-C to disconnect"

try:
	time.sleep(100000000)
	print "Terminating connection"
except:
	pass

network.Disconnect()
You can run it with just one argument - the bluetooth mac of the destination device.

Works for me
