Well, actually, with the new work we are doing to split the tracker
daemon and indexing into separate processes, it will be even cheaper to
keep trackerd running. It will mostly just be sitting there waiting for
requests from tracker-search-tool et al.

Tracker should definitely be running unless you don't want new files and
files recently changed to be immediately on demand when searching.

Also, trackerd needs to be running for ANY information lookups, so yes,
it should start in any case pretty much.
