Now, trackerd and tracker-applet will be started with gnome-session. the default action for trackerd is to index home directory. so when a normal user login into gnome, his home will be indexed by tracker, it consume a lot of time, but it is not be user's owner idea. he may run tracker-preference to change setting to reindex. I suggest that we can start trackerd without any indexing or watch actions, unless user change settings through tracker-preference tool. that is reasonable for user, because he has made his decision to index something,
