The only open file I saw that looked suspicious was 
~/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db.  But all I get when I run 
beagle-extract-content on that is this (which runs very quickly, of course):

Filename: file:///home/sandy/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db
Debug: Loaded 63 filters from /usr/lib/beagle/Filters/Filters.dll
Debug: Verifying filter_cache at /home/sandy/.beagle/filterver.dat ... 
cache is dirty ? False
Debug: No filter for file:///home/sandy/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db 
(/home/sandy/.gnome2/f-spot/photos.db) [application/x-sqlite3]
No filter for application/x-sqlite3


Complete output of ls -l /proc/4698/fd is below, if that helps:
