From what I've read about zeitgeist it sounds like a good idea. I tried installing a gui for it once and learned that most applications I use don't report to it. It had scant information that was of use to me and the gui was pretty impotent. So there wasn't much I could do with it.
Meantime, Zeitgeist seems to be causing problems and my system resources are very tight. I would rather just switch it off. But there is no obvious place for a user to do either of two very important things with this application: i) find out what it does; and ii) find out how to control it. It seems sensible to me to give the user control of it: at the very least so they can switch it on and off.
My syslog is full of zeitgeist errors like this:
org.gnome. zeitgeist. Engine ... DataInserter: destroyed with unflushed data... zeitgeist. Engine ... database is locked
org.gnome.
It seems also to be causing problems with other applications: https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ thunar/ +bug/1514912
