[Tracker] Why Tracker & Tracker preferences two different tools?

[shirish <shirishag75 gmail com>]

Hi all,
      First of all congratulations on Tracker 0.6.0 & it looks great.
One thing though on Ubuntu/Xubuntu gutsy we have 2 different tools on
the GUI mode, namely :-

tracker-search-tool and tracker-preferences , While on Ubuntu the tool
is supposed to be in Applications > Accessories (atleast in xubuntu it
is, haven't been able to log into Ubuntu for few days due to some bug)
while the preferences part in System > preferences. (oddly named as
Indexing Preferences with a reddish looking icon), anyways the moot
question is why the tool is in this two different places. Is this by
design or what? To my mind it would have been better to have Tracker
having multiple tabs or something like that.  Maybe have a look at
deluge-torrent, a GNOME/GTK torrent client , esp. how they did the
Edit > Preferences thing .

All in all, I do think it would have been better to have preferences
integrated with the search-feature. If there were discussions about it
before from which the discussion was taken then point me towards
there.

Cheers!
