[opensuse] tracker-miner-fs and the gnome-panel-applet-tracker

I have found that I have tracker-miner-fs running, and often at startup it hogs the cpu for a little while.

I found this thread in the forums which was interesting, basically the same problem.

http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/applications/459567-tracker-miner-fs-100-cpu-usage.html

The solution given at the end of the thread is, "If you have the gnome-panel-applet-tracker installed, you can disable it, just write "Tracker" in the box that you'll find when you click on the Suse button."

I do have the gnome-panel-applet-tracker installed, as I found by rpm-qa | grep tracker, but how do you actually open and run this panel-applet so that you can find the Suse button and disable tracker?

I also saw in my rpm qa that firefox and thundrbird use the tracker-miner. Will disabling it affect firefox and thunderbird?
