No, a simple reset, not removal of DB's.

tracker-processes can also stop tracker but in order to start it again
I have to run both tracker-store and tracker-miner-fs which is
awkward. How do you guys do it (other than logging out, which is even
more awkward).

Ideally, yeah. But things happen. I expect there'll be an outcry if
you guys don't make it easy for layman to reset the thing if some part
of Tracker gets stuck/explodes somewhere.
