The current hack doesn't work properly because it assumes you will have
conversations (GAIM logs) if you don't you only get Finished once and
this code never gets run.

What we need to do is intelligently know when to load this file. The
best time is after we have been idle for more than x seconds I think
since we can be "Finished" multiple times during the course of an index
(depending on how fast the system and how quickly the new items are send
to the indexer).
