Lisa, A good link. I have most of Tracker disabled, except for Tracker-desktop. I have not found the setting for that either in .config, or /etc/xge (I think those were the paths) System is now running much faster I also have found the settings for more virtual desktops, as well as adjusting the system fonts, and I have even got Flash running for YouTube. I am much happier with my new system.
