Basically that thread says Gnome should work. KDE is being worked on and at least in August they didn't even have a plan for the other DEs. I don't know of any ongoing effort to fix bluetooth for anything but KDE.
Not to reopen an old wounds, but why was Bluez adopted and bluedevil dropped if the development was in such a sorry state?
As I understand it: bluedevil wasn't dropped. It sits on top of bluez. bluez 5 has been out for a year, so it is relatively mature. Gnome updated to use it 6 or so months ago. bluedevil is in the final stages of being updated. The opensuse devs thought fedora 20 coming out in december would drive the bluedevil devs to get it done before fedora 20 came out, thus they expected an updated bluedevil by early Dec. Unfortunately bluedevil is only used by KDE, so even after it is updated, the rest of the DEs won't have bluez5 support. I'm surprised the bluez4 based bluetooth stack isn't still in OBS for 13.1 for those that want to use DEs other than Gnome / KDE.
