Sorry, Anne, I meant nepomukserverrc, but you figured it out. Yes, restart, 
Strigi should start and use the virtusoso backend. You should see a message 
saying that an automigrate is taking place, having changed the backend that's 
being used.

Don't think so. (But I don't know too much about akonadi.)

I spent 5 mins last weekend having a quick fiddle with virtuoso as the strigi 
backend. Tagging wasn't working at all. Keep an eye on ~/.xsession-errors. 
Lot's of logging there. Much weird bahvaiour - iodbc errors, cursor errors, 
dolphin hanging while re-indexing. It actually seems less stable than the 
sesame2 backend. But again, I did only spend 5 mins with it.

Regards

Clive
