Hello, I would just like to confirm that after lots of hours wasted searching, trying en retrying this method worked straight away for me!
Just had to change the input file, which for some reason stated the timout in minutes but was actually counting seconds... the default setting of 1 minute (actually 1 second) wasn't comfortable
Thanks darkshadow & Freezy for the clear instructions!
ps: I'm using the most recent XBMCbuntu 12.2-amd which is built upon Lubuntu 12.10 on a sony vaio SVE1512E6EW and I'm a complete noob

Just to confirm the the code works on a fresh install of Xbmcbuntu RC2.
Here are the steps I followed including pairing.

sudo apt-get install bluez libdbus-1-dev libglib2.0-dev python-dbus python-gobject
sudo service bluetooth stop
cd ~
wget http://kitlaan.twinaxis.com/projects/bluez-ps3remote/bluez_ps3remote_4.91.diff
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/bluetooth/bluez-4.91.tar.gz
tar xvfz bluez-4.91.tar.gz
cd bluez-4.91

./configure --prefix=/usr && make
sudo make install
sudo ln -s /etc/bluetooth/input.conf /usr/etc/bluetooth/input.conf
sudo ln -s /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf /usr/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf

SSH into your XBMC box
cd ~
wget http://kitlaan.twinaxis.com/projects/bluez-ps3remote/ps3pair.tar.gz
