Cool, right now I'm trying to figure out a sane api for the index. Next
step is to implement a Python dict backend providing this api and then
ofcourse make deskbar use this new index api.

If all things goes smoothly, I'll move on to beagle, tracker and sqlite
as possible backends. It will probably be a week (or a few) before I get
to this - I'll be back!
