That's much better, but I don't like the error message.  It would lead
to lots of support calls asking to have "application search" turned back
on.  I think the neutral message that Nautilus currently displays is
sufficient.

In general if a system admin has turned off some feature, the last thing
we want is to have the end users hear all about it. :-)

Cheers,
