To enable Nautilus using the tracker this are the things that you have
to do:
1) Compile Nautilus when you have tracker-lib installed (Already
installed if you compile from svn, otherwise look for something like
tracker-devel)

2) You have done.

Note: If Beagle is running it gets the priority.
If you want to make sure that tracker is picked up by the Nautilus, stop
beagle.

I think a Nautilus view is something that you are looking for. But I can
be terribly wrong. ;)

Right now (AFAIK) it is possibile to tag with:
1) command line
2) tracker-gui
