Correct. For a brand new app that would be a good project for a
starting developer to add tracker support to check out Referencer [1].

Also, another great place for desktop integration is in the
gtk.Filechooser. Anyone want to hack on this? It would be cool to be
able to add/remove tags when a document is saved.....

do it in such a way that it has a > 0% chance of being included
upstream....

According to [2] because tracker autostarts on DBus and Beagle doesnt
then it depends. If beagle is running it uses that, if not then it
uses tracker.
