Comment 67 for bug 346912

Dan - that's wrong. Tracker was installed by default but disabled on Intrepid. It was only ever enabled by default for a very short period after being installed by default for the first time in the Hardy development cycle.

Likewise, it is definately disabled by default on Jaunty (I should know - I wrote the patch to do that for the Jaunty version). Those of you who have never manually enabled tracker but are experiencing this issue are hitting it because of another bug that occurs when you insert removable media (bug 359207). But I can assure you that tracker is definately disabled by default.
