Well, the plan is to ship KDE 4 in F8, and the KDE folks are working on
supporting Strigi in some apps. But I don't know how work is going on the GNOME
side, that probably also depends on whether Beagle or Tracker will end up as
the "default" there.
I'm a bit worried about ending up with 2 or 3 different desktop search daemons
autostarted by different apps. (Heck, personally, I don't even want _one_
search daemon autostarted, but users and use cases differ. ;-) )
