I believe CVS bumps up the index version, yes.

Yeah, because the index version number changed (to better support
archives).

Well, beagle-settings is run as an individual user, so it can't edit the
files in /etc/xdg/autostart.  The files in ~/.config/autostart should
override the ones in the system directory.  I'll look into it.

Yes, it counts each "document" that is indexed, which doesn't
necessarily map one-to-one with files.

A tool which knew how Beagle interpreted the files and crawled the
filesystem itself would probably be the most accurate way to do this,
but you could write a script which crawled the file system, counting
each file and extracting archives and counting their contents to get a
reasonably close approximation.  It would definitely tell you if Beagle
should be indexing 10000 but only finding 1000, but it won't get the
different between 525 and 550.

Cute. :)  Thanks, I'll fix that one.
