Additional work that could be done for a document centric GNOME:

1. Integrate tracker-preferences as a control panel applet, maybe with
   some basic monitoring (index up to date/indexing files, time
   remaining)
2. Pursue work on Tracker/Shell integration (basic version proposed in
   https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=645326 ). As proposed by
   Martyn, Tracker could also be used for application search (less code
   for the same features since we'd remove the current application
   search).
