Ok...
I'm asking this only to know if in the Doc section I have pointed to the
 more up to date deb compiled with tracker support.

We can suggest to people to switch their distro to the development one,
that, if I have understood correctly, would ship an already integrated
nautilus. (At least Fedora/Debian/Ubuntu). Gentoo should do the trick
compiling by the source :)

Ok... But maybe also the development of this script should be integrated
in the deskbar development trunk and not shipped with tracker tarball?

What about the QT GUI?

There are any release/debs/rpms around? I haven't seen any tarball too!

I've lost some announcement?
