Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tracker

Ubuntu Hardy Alpha 5, tracker-search-tool version 0.6.4-1ubuntu1.

Related to the comments in bug #177398, the tracker icon continuously
animates. I'm no UI expert, but having a constantly-changing indicator
in the area of the screen reserved for "something important is
happening" seems to be against intuitive design.

I have disabled both indexing and watching in the Tracker Preferences.

Given that there is no way to get rid of the icon (bug #176981), it
would be super if I could prevent the tracker icon from animating when
it isn't doing anything, even if I can't get rid of it.

'killall -SIGSTOP tracker-applet' is a bruteforce solution when I feel
like the constant animation when idle is showing me up, making me look
bad to my boss by always appearing to be helpful and productive even
when not doing anything. Don't get me fired, tracker-applet!

** Affects: tracker (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Fix Released
