Bug Description

Binary package hint: tracker

In the Applet Preferences there is an option called "Hide Icon" once this is
selected the icon won't appear in the system tray. There is no option in
tracker-preferences to show the icon and because the icon isn't in the tray
there is no way to get back into Applet Preferences once it is hidden.

I had to edit .config/tracker/tracker-applet.cfg by hand to change
"AutoHideIcon" back to false.

BTW, I'm using Ubuntu 8.04.

I've also filed this bug upstream at:

Turns out those bugs aren't really duplicates. Need to get the gnome bug re-opened though.
