canot get blueman working

[javeree]

from console, using bluetoothctl, I can scan and see other devices, so I assume that my bluetooth device is working.

However, when I try to run blueman-manager, I get (on terminal) 'Blueman applet needs to be running'.
So I run from terminal blueman-applet and get the following errrors:

(blueman-applet:10065): dbind-WARNING **: 21:26:11.176: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

I have no idea how I should either start the mentioned accessibility bus or change the security policy. Any ides ?

reply to self:

It seems that I needed to add myself to the plugdev group (actually that is a message that you get when installing the bluez ebuild, but that I missed).

However, just doing
usermod -a -G plugdev <user>
did not seem to work until I rebooted (not just logout), so it took a while before I found out that I had actually implemented the solution.
