@Martin: Yes, there is. Look in 'Desktop Search' in systemsettings. This setting is per-user though.

@Thomas: There is no need to take a crowbar to the autostart .desktop file to prevent Nepomuk starting. This will prevent any user from locally configuring it to start in the future, and breaks the integrity of the package (rpm -V kdebase4-workspace to see what I mean). There is an elegant way (which I've just been using to configure Nepomuk and Strigi indexing default settings for openSUSE 11.4).

If you look inside the nepomukserver.desktop autostart there is

X-KDE-autostart-condition=nepomukserverrc:Basic Settings:Start Nepomuk:true

This means if, per user
$HOME/.kde4/share/config/nepomukserverrc
or system wide
/etc/kde4/share/config/nepomukserverrc

contain

[Basic Settings]
Start Nepomuk=false

the autostart desktop file evaluates this file and does not start nepomukserver.
