I hope you plan to make this optional or make it possible to disable
strigi indexing completely. This is a horrible idea on anything but a
pretty empty home directory. 

For example I've got all kde development stuff in my home, so there are
ton's of .svn subdirs all over the place. There are web pages for my
homepage with quite some deeper hierarchies.

Sorry, but I don't see any way this can work with any of the existing
notification systems on linux.
