- disabled build of hidd

I used this tool in 10.2 to connect my bluetooth mouse.

There's even references in the help file:

/usr/share/doc/packages/bluez-utils/README.keyboard+mouse

about how to use hidd to connect input devices.

Why was hidd disabled?  Is there some other method I should be using?  (Note, I'm using gnome so I'm not following the instructions using kinputwizard.  But, GNOME:Community has an updated bluez-gnome 0.14 which seems to allow connecting to devices.  Maybe we just update bluze-gnome?)

hidd is not needed to connect a mouse. See http://en.opensuse.org/Bluetooth and the pages linked from there. The error in the documentation is fixed for 11.1.
