To those wanting to show the mouse cursor: use the included "showmouse" and "hidemouse" scripts. I'm working on making it automatic.

Does anyone know about dbus and python? I hook a routine to the "PropertyChanged" of the mouse and the keyboard, but when I get a notification, I don't know which device has changed. Here's a code snippet.

First I connect the devices:

Code:

            interface = dbus.Interface(bus.get_object('org.bluez',
                                       adapter + "/" + DEVICE), 
                                       "org.bluez.Input")  

            interface.connect_to_signal("PropertyChanged", connected)

then in the handler:

Code:

def connected(*args, **kwargs):    
    if args[0] == "Connected":
        if args[1] == False:       
            iface.SystemNoteInfoprint("BT device disconnected")
        else:
            iface.SystemNoteInfoprint("BT device connected")

I copy-pasted the code from the wiki. I don't know what the args are, or the kwargs. Where is the device info passed?
