Last addendum to this: I do NOT use the dongle as a "bluetooth"...rather it was just being utilized as a 'hub' to connect the mouse and keyboard. This functionality is what has recently changed/broken. After looking through the bug reports it appears that the logitech dongle has ALWAYS had issues as a 'bluez' device. this bug report is for loss of functionality that has been working fine since the intrepid release.
