I'm personally really disappointed that Beagle's no longer in the default install. This isn't to rag on Alex, or to even disagree with him - if it's causing bugs like this, then I understand why this had to be done, at least for now. But Beagle's a great tool - I use it *daily*, and while it's no problem for me to simply add it back into my package set, it's too bad that new users won't have Beagle's great features out of the box. I hope that this can be re-evaluated for F8! - Jens Knutson (Preemptive note to Tracker fanboys: I tried Tracker for a few days and disabled Beagle. At the end of my testing, I very happily re-enabled Beagle and removed Tracker completely - Tracker's not a /fraction/ as useful, Beagle doesn't use much CPU on my system, and RAM usage is hardly a concern - memory is CHEAP.)
I must say that I agree with Jen 100% I use beagle and firefox beagle plugin all the time and they are real life savers! I can't imagine my deskop without beagle and deskbar! I also tried tracked and wasn't impressed. Please make beagle and deskbar default on for Fedora 7! There are a lot of new users who would really benefit from these functions. Is there maybe an option to whip beagle into shape and not to use 100% of cpu? Is there no other way? Is disabling it really the only option?
