Unfortunately, the KDE workspace only supports Bluez version 4 in its currently-released versions. In an effort to prevent missing functionality, modifications to allow co-installation of Bluez 4 and 5 were attempted, but were unsuccesful. At the same time, upstream developers started updating KDE's Bluetooth stack, Bluedevil, to Bluez 5. Due to this work, a decision was made to move forward with Bluez 5 support in the distribution, hoping that the port would be finished by the time openSUSE 13.1 would be released. As this did not happen in time (it is still a work in progress), there is no Bluetooth support for the KDE workspace in the openSUSE 13.1 release. Therefore, the openSUSE KDE community team took the conscious decision to ship openSUSE 13.1 with an unofficial Bluedevil pacakge providing at least basic functionality for users (such as device pairing, support for bluetooth mice). As it is a work in progress, some features are known not to work, like file transfer. For the moment, bugs should not be filed against Bluetooth support in KDE as the Bluez 5 port of Bluedevil is still ongoing. Upstream has also mentioned that no bug reports on Bluez 5 support will be accepted until the port is fully finished. We are closely tracking the progress of Bluedevil with regards to Bluez5 support and we will provide updates through the normal 13.1 update channel based on the developments upstream.
