I believe there were  thoughts about allowing a broad swipe right to reveal
it when a touch device was attached (sort of like the swipe down for
notifications on the iphone) but I guess that was one of the things that
there hasn't been time for yet.

In the meantime, you can set it to always-visible and reduce the icon size
as Omar suggested. Not ideal, I know, but better than nothing.
