Hi!

When I try to pair my phone with my laptop (from the phone) from the phone,
Gnome Shell throws an exception (found in ~/.xsession-errors) and as a
result I never get a dialog to confirm/deny the pairing, nor verify the PIN.
The trace:

     JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: TypeError: args[i++] is null
    JS ERROR: !!!     lineNumber = '48'
    JS ERROR: !!!     fileName = '"/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/misc/format.js"'
    JS ERROR: !!!     stack = '"("%s","","","","s",25,"Pairing confirmation for %s")@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/misc/format.js:48

To reproduce, enable bluetooth and set bluetooth to visible using the Bluetooth
panel icon.  Then, try to pair from the phone.

Cheers,
Paul
