Also the notification icon should be displayed (maybe animated) only when tracker is indexing and will need more then XX seconds (5? 10?) to complete the task.I would have to see such behaviour in practice to judge if it is sensible or not. I could imagine that it would become quite annoying if the tracker-applet constantly vanishes and appears.
I kind of agree with Luca. when i tried tracker 0.6.4 from svn lately, i found the current tracker-applet extremele annoying already . The animation while indexing and changing to a ! all the time is really grabbing my eyes and distracting, especially for such a thing as an indexing service, which should be something that happens in the background and should just work so you can use it. i'm working on a mac at work atm and the animation the spotlight icon has is a lot less distracting as it only shows a very small smoothly animated dot when new stuff is indexed and this operation really takes some time like indexing a newly connected network drive. most of the time you don't get any animation at all, and as i said, even when the icon is animated, you hardly ever notice it unless you really look at the icon. btw, the tracker-applet uses only one fixed size png, which looks really bad compared to other status icons and applets which actually follow tango size guidelines. this should definately be fixed before a 0.6.4 release, imho.
