[Tracker] Deskbar Applet - to be or not to be?

[Martyn Russell <martyn lanedo com>]

Hi all,

So, I have been looking into the deskbar applet to figure out if we can 
and should fix it before the next 0.8 release briefly.

Current issues with doing this work:

- It is very out of date to the point where a re-write is almost more 
useful here (when talking about the current Tracker APIs)
- GNOME shell will make any new work rather pointless as far as I 
understand it.
- The current module also looks out of date according to the 
documentation on live.gnome.org for creating a plug-in for Deskbar.
- We already have tracker-search-bar which does something similar here 
so we do have an alternative solution.

So what I want to do is to find out if anyone is interested in fixing or 
re-writing this work before the 0.8 release or not? If not, then I will 
remove it in this week's release.
