Lightweight Bluetooth applications

I am using an USB bluetooth pen with my Gentoo Linux system, and when I
want to exchange files between my cell phone and my computer, I use the
KDE bluetooth server (kbluetoothd).

But I've now switched to XFCE and I'd like to use kde-based applications
as less as possible, and I am looking for lightweight (maybe gtk+-based,
or even ncurses based, e.g.) Bluetooth suites like the KDE one.

Any suggestion?

TIA

You have gnome-bluetooth, but it's not at all as good as kdebluetooth.

I would try it, but I don't like GNOME applications due to its
philosophy of "removing options and features in order to avoid confusing
the users".

Nothing involving gnome is lightweight...
