Yes, I can see that by default it does not check any
~/. dirs (other than ~/.evo* and ~/.gaim) but I have
explicitly added other ~/. to tracker cfg
("WatchDirectoryRoots") and it seems to be ignoring
the additions - is that intentional too?  I realize I
can probably just make links to them in ~/. but I
don't want a mess of ~/ links.  

Given that many ~/. may be cache dirs or others not
suitable for searching, I can understand why the
default is to ignore them but even when explicitly
added to the cfg?

In r0.6.6 I find no
src/trackerd/tracker-process-files.c nor any *process*
- is this something unreleased or just the wrong name?
