I still encounter the problem, that if both tracker-applet *and*
trackerd are started by gnome-session (via /etc/xdg/autostart),
trackerd keeps stuck in the
Initializing state (that's what tracker-status reports).

According to jamie this is a race condition between tracker-applet
trying to access trackerd (and causing a dbus autolauched trackerd
instance) and trackerd started by gnome-session.
A short wait time in tracker-applet is said to circumvent this race
condition somehow.
Unfortunately I couldn't find this place in tracker-applet sources and
see if increasing this wait time helps.

Any other ideas how to solve this (letting users manually configure
the startup sequence number in gnome-session-properties is not an
option imho).

Cheers,
Michael
