I tend to agree with Ivan here.

To see if we link with a library, you should really use ldd:

$ ldd /usr/bin/tracker-search-tool |grep -i gio
        libgio-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgio-2.0.so.0 (0x00007f75abaa0000)
$ ldd /usr/bin/tracker-search-tool |grep -i gnomevfs
        libgnomevfs-2.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgnomevfs-2.so.0 (0x00007f79b6366000)

To see if we use any GnomeVFS or other library functions, you can use nm 
or objdump:

$ nm /usr/bin/tracker-search-tool |grep -i g_file_new_for_path
                 U g_file_new_for_pat
$ nm /usr/bin/tracker-search-tool |grep -i gnome_vfs
$
