what happens when tracker and beagle are installed and running?
which one will nautilus use?

NautilusSearchEngine *
nautilus_search_engine_new (void)
{
        NautilusSearchEngine *engine;

#ifdef HAVE_TRACKER
        engine = nautilus_search_engine_tracker_new ();
        if (engine) {
                return engine;
        }
#endif

#ifdef HAVE_BEAGLE
        engine = nautilus_search_engine_beagle_new ();
        if (engine) {
                return engine;
        }
#endif
        engine = nautilus_search_engine_simple_new ();
        return engine;
}

So I assume it will prefer tracker, as long as it is installed. From my
experiments, it looks like libtracker actually starts trackerd on demand, so you'll have to uninstall tracker to get back to beagle.
