Dear Myriam,

Here is what showed after applying the check-mark to the two boxes.  I can 
hear the computer working very hard, so it must at least be doing the Nepomuke 
work.

Failed to contact Strigi indexer (Could not get owner of name 
'org.kde.nepomuk.services.nepomukstrigiservice': no such name)

Where is Nepomuke located.  I looked under every option in the menu and did 
not find mention of Nepomuke.

Steven
