Thanks Martin Following: http://standards.freedesktop.org/autostart-spec/autostart-spec-latest.html (section "OnlyShowIn and NotShowIn Keys"), I was considering changing: OnlyShowIn=GNOME;KDE;XFCE; to OnlyShowIn=GNOME;XFCE; in /etc/xdg/autostart/tracker*.desktop to make sure tracker is not started for any of my KDE users on my systems.
