[Tracker] Does Tracker really needs a keyfile?

[Wukon_Hsieh acer com tw]

Hi,
I built and run the test cases in Tracker using Meego handset image - "meego-handset-ia32-1.0.80.9.20100706.1-sdk-pre0729.tar.bz2",
and, I got an error message as following
:

...
Tracker-CRITICAL **: Could not load GKeyFile password file, No such file
or directory
aborting...
FAIL: tracker-password-provider-test
...

After I traced the code, I understood that I need to add a keyfile at -
"~/.config/tracker/passwords.cfg", and the content is like that:
   [General]
   description= 
   username=
   password=

After I add this keyfile, all test cases passed!!
So, I think the test cases might needs a keyfile.
But, it will not be provided as default installation, strangely, it still
works!?
Does Tracker really needs a keyfile?
What things might happen if we don't have it?

Thinks.
