Hi,

 The application names in the .desktop files are "encoded" in an id,
and Tracker needs a function in meegotouch to get the real application
name (so it can be searched). This is a decision of Meegotouch on how
to handle translations.

 Tracker could also depend only on Qt and hardcode some paths, but it
doesn't look any nicer. The root problem is to encode the application
names in something that only a function in the toolkit can translate.
Either the translation function goes to an independent library or
meegotouch uses the same way to handle translations as any upstream
distribution. But both things are out of the tracker area of
influence.

 If this help, the dependency with meegotouch is optional. Disabling
it, Tracker will read the .desktop files following the usual upstream
conventions.

 Regards,

Ivan
