Control XBMC with a wiimote

[manuka]

OK so I've got my wiimote working on XBian, That bug with connecting is annoying and something I will have to put some work into to solve as I want to hide the pi and having to physically remove and reinsert the bluetooth dongle is something I'd rather not have my kids do everytime they want to watch a movie.

The other bug I have is when I try to power off using the power icon's menu the pi freezes.

The negative point is that the xbmc is not responding to my wii motion plus commands. It could be the bt dongle since it is an old d-link (model DBT-122). I am trying to double check if the widget installation is ok, but I do not see it in the installed package.
Can you suggest any test that I can do to see where is the problem? As said it could be the dongle, but before I buy I newer one I would like to be sure that the rest is ok, including the fact that the wii remote is the newer Wii Motion Plus INSIDE.

What type of bluetooth dongle are you using? hciconfig should help you there. Also have you tried removing and reinserting the dongle then trying to sync?
