Hi,In order to make latest Tracker run on Dapper, I just put a patch in bugzilla that adds some functions from glib2.12 source into tracker in order to bring requirement from glib2.12 down to 2.10 by copying functions from glib source code into src/libtracker-gtk/tracker-metadata-tile.c and src/tracker-preferences/tracker-configuration.c
This patche uses the already defined HAVE_RECENT_GLIB variable from configure.ac in order to define missing functions when required. It could be worth to rename this variable HAVE_GLIB_2-12, but I didnt' changed that for I'm not the only one involved.
The patch has been verified and is running on Dapper with glib2.10, it might even be enough to have glib 2.9 but I couldn't test that.
I don't know wheter bugzilla (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=441128) was good place to put the patch so I let you know here.
