I was amused by the idea of using a BT headset with Skype (of course, under my beloved openSuSE 10.2 toshiba laptop). To do this, I switched back to kde. The headset is a Siemens HHB-600 (thanks, Federico!). It is straightforward, actually! There is an excellent page on How-to use a BT headset with SuSE 10.0, on openSuSE website. It works for openSuSE as well, as a matter of fact. The only snag is Skype. My version (1.3.0.53) differs from the one described in the openSuSE page. But it is simple enough: in Tools, Options, Sound device, select OSS (not ALSA!), and you will find there the required dsp1 Happy Skype-ing!
