Those are system-wide indexes created using beagle-crawl-system and
beagle-build-index.  They are usually run as a dedicated user from cron
and placed in /var/cache/beagle/indexes.  Most likely for you these are
prebuilt.

The message "Indexing: False" just indicates whether the daemon is
indexing those items at that point in time.  It doesn't mean that those
backends are disabled.  And since those indexes aren't created by the
daemon, it will only ever say "Indexing: False".

It sounds like a bug in the daemon not being shut down.  You could try
running "beagle-shutdown" to ensure that the daemon is shut down before
starting a new one.

Debugging is always on.  We are still debugging the code, after all.

This list is fine.
