Comment 50 for bug 204770

why do you think that applications starting tracker over dbus is a good idea? users don't expect to get their system to start doing lot of io for the day just because they used deskbar-applet or nautilus search, especially when they disabled the tracker autostart to avoid that. autostarting tracker when using deskbar-applet is also a bad user experience because it'll always return an empty list which will lead the user to think the tool is just buggy, you really need to let time to index things before using it so autostarting it when you need datas is not something useful
