Bug Description

The default settings of `indicator-bluetooth` make file transfers fail without feedback (not too great, but not the issue here). One has to install `bluemon` and enable file transfer options like ~"allow read/write" and ~"allow trusted devices". The user expects `indicator-bluetooth` to offer a sufficient set of options to transfer file which is a quite basic task for bluetooth connections. The options should be added to sufficient hints displayed in the application (e.g. a hint that the settings aren't implemented yet and that one needs to manage the device with `bluemon` like described above).
