Just install "Xfapplet" and that will help you add Deskbar. Tracker resource usage can get out of control but it can be fixed by going to the "Search and Indexing" preferences. Go to the "Performance" tab and switch everything to the slowest setting. You need to restart (or just restart the Tracker daemon) for the changes to take effect. It works just as well but the initial indexing will take longer. Deskbar is a GNOME app, but if you are an Xfce user it will also run really nicely in the Xfce panel.

If you like using gnome do then disabling tracker might be a good way to save on resources. (tracker kills my resources) Does anyone know if gnome do uses tracker for indexing or its own service?
