Same problem in Ubuntu 13.10, blueman 1.23 when connecting to a GPS sharing app on my phone over rfcomm. If the connection is lost at some point then I have to restart bluetoothd before I can connect again. I've tried using `rfcomm release rfcomm0` which deletes the serial device in /dev/ but the blueman UI still thinks something is in use.

It leaves the /dev/rfcommX port open (by bluetoothd). However, the profile-specific disconnect option at the top of the menu works properly. Blueman should keep track of open connections and properly close any associated ports. Steps to reproduce: 1) set up a SPP or DUN connection. 2) right click on the device in blueman device manager and click the bottom-most menu item, Disconnect device. 3) try to reconnect as SPP or DUN. Result: "Connection failed: port already in use" However, disconnecting the SPP or DUN connection using "Disconnect Serial port rfcomm0", etc works (releases rfcomm0 and a reconnect therefore works) This occurs on my laptop using a Dell Wireless 360 bluetooth module (internal USB), and also on my desktop using an external USB bluetooth module.
