Hi :)

Yes there have been some really superb improvements since then!

If you put in any user request, it will start the daemon for you. The
other common way to do this is to start tracker-applet. This will also
start trackerd for you. A simple call to tracker-status will also start
the daemon. 

The proper way is probably to use a user init script of some manner
which starts tracker using:

  ${libexec}/trackerd

This will use the config in $HOME/.config/tracker/tracker.cfg to know
about start-up delays and logging verbosity. If you want to change that
by command line, you can use:

  ${libexec}/trackerd -v 2 -s 0

For example. See the --help for more information there. These options
overwrite the .cfg settings.
