Notes:

  There is a new config option called IndexOpticalDiscs in:

    $HOME/.config/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.cfg

  You will need to update your .cfg file manually OR remove the old
  file to have a new config file generated for you. The default here
  is FALSE and it covers the indexing of CDs, DVDs, etc.

  The Deskbar applet packaged with Tracker is currently out of date
  and needs some love to get it working with the new APIs. It is in
  the same state as it was for 0.6. As such it isn't expected to work.
