No file chooser dialog when sending files #127

Hello! Arch user here, with an interesting issue that I haven't seen reported elsewhere. I've been using Blueberry for a while, and found it quite useful, especially for Bluetooth file transfer from a modern Android phone.

However, when I attempt to send a file in the other direction (that is, from computer to phone), things get... strange. Both from within the Blueberry GUI and from the system tray icon, choosing "Send files..." / "Send files to a device" yields no results at all. Just to be sure, I tried this with my phone both connected and disconnected (though always paired, of course). Also, at the same time, file transfers from phone to computer work perfectly.

I have Blueberry configured to start automatically with SystemD, so I checked the system journal for bluetooth.service, but found nothing particularly interesting.

Is it possible I'm simply missing a GUI framework or something that Blueberry depends on to show its file picker? If so, though, I would have expected some sort of "command not found" or "missing library" error, not... nothing. Also, I did install Blueberry from the official Arch repo, not the AUR or anything, so I would think dependencies should have been handled. If I can provide any additional information to help with debugging, I'd be glad to do so.
