Do you use kmail? I disabled nepomuk at one point and I wasn't able to access my contacts on kmail. I think it's the same with baloo. And from what I've read the plan is for more applications to use it so you may miss important features. They recommend just disabling file indexing or adding your home directory to the exclusion list on system settings, But after doing that I still got that popup a few times until I okay'd it. -- Fernando Rodriguez
