Bug Description

Ubuntu 13.10
Blueman 1.23+update1-2ubuntu1

The AppIndicator module uses libappindicator to show a statusicon, but the blueman package does not depend on python-appindicator (Python bindings for libappindicator) so the statusicon is missing. Users who already installed python-appindicator or some other dependent package (e.g. virt-manager, winswitch...) are not affected.

Command line output of blueman-applet:
[...]
(/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/blueman/main/PluginManager.py:68)
Unable to load plugin module AppIndicator
No module named appindicator
[...]

The fix is easy: sudo apt-get install python-appindicator
IMO python-appindicator should be added to blueman dependencies
