It worked fine for me in edgy just by running it. Needs python dbus
bindings installed, and must be run from the dir with the svg icon in
it

Would there be any value / interest in having something like this in
trackerd? (written in C, and conditionally compiled in of course)

I often open a terminal with tail --follow tracker.log to see whats happening.

The applet could display an icon depending on the daemons status
* Flushing data
* Indexing / Extracting metadata
* Sleeping
And perhaps a % complete indicator (23 / 234 files indexed (xx%)) or something

If there is no need for the daemon to have a panel applet (which I
probbably agree with) then is there any way to get this info over
dbus?
