I do too, but only because I can't be bothered to start a jhbuild 
environment to test Tracker :) - incidentally, I am forced to do that 
every now and then and know it works in /opt/gnome* so AFAIK, there are 
no prefix issues. But if you do find it is problematic - let me know.

Quite evil really, I should use /usr/local.
