Nearly perfect for me, but..

Hi there.
I'm gravitating more and more to GhostBSD after some time with Linux but the likes of Ubuntu are getting a bit cosy with M$ for me. There are a couple of issues I've come across with GhostBSD 10.3 that are nearly deal-breakers which I'm hoping you guys can help me out on.
I use bluetooth quite a bit to move files to and from my aged but works fine Dell Lat. 6420 laptop. I downloaded and installed the XFCE image, I was hoping to find a bluetooth manager installed. I did some searching on the web and testing has shown the OS can see, and I can start the bluetooth stack. So it appears I just need the last bit and find a bluetooth manager to pair and allow send and receive files. I did try a manual install of FreeBSD and installed gnome 3 - looked great but alas no bluetooth there.
Also Skype. I see it has been left high and dry and was hoping to be able to install the plug-in for Pigeon but I couldn't get that working, accessing web skype though firebox seems to be blocked by M$. How are you getting on skype, I'm not fussed about calls, just chat and file transfer.
