Actually I have headaches, balance loss, sounds in my head when I move
my eyes, involuntary foot stomping and now cataracts in both eyes, yea,
I'm a freaking mess :(  

But that said, I appreciate all the replies to my one question and they
are very helpful. Way back earlier in this thread it was suggested that
I simply rename /usr/bin/tracker to tracker.org which 'should' make the
executable in /usr/local/bin be called on restart or log-out/in. I did
that and it appears to have worked:

chris at localhost:/var/log$ tracker status

The only reason I'm in /var/log is that I had to quickly start tail on
syslog to see if it worked.
