Show/Hide icon Blueman taskbar 12.04

Asked by John Doe

Now that I installed Blueman, I ticked off the icon for the taskbar.
Problem: I can not access the Settings anymore to modify the Plug inns.
Is there a way to get to the Settings?
It would be nice to have the option concerning show/hide the icon in the taskbar, to have it under the "view" pulldown menu.
Running 12.04 under Unity.

Alt+F2 and type blueman should open it.

Sorry Wojox, but I still do not have access to the Settings, so that I can access the plug-inns.

The file list shows there're some options to start, maybe try either one of them to get to settings.
/usr/bin/blueman-applet
/usr/bin/blueman-assistant
/usr/bin/blueman-browse
/usr/bin/blueman-manager
/usr/bin/blueman-services

btw. you know blueman is gnome2 and 12.04 also has it's standard bluetooth (gnome-bluetooth 3.2) in system-settings?

Since blueman is gnome2 according to file list it uses gconf to manage settings, so as workaround open gconf-editor, go to
/apps/blueman

if it isn't there use the search option of gconf.
Then find the option to set systray true or false.
