ahoy ahoy

I have just come across the new baloo monitor and it appears to me
that it is supposed to be installed by default which makes it appear
by default on all plasma systems. Is that in fact the intended
behavior here (i.e. desktop file, visible by default, installed by
default)?

If so, it most decidedly needs a GenericName set to say 'File Indexing
Monitor' as right now it says 'Baloo Monitor' which means literally
nothing seeing as Baloo has been kept a pretty hidden name up until
now.

Also just my two cents: IMO it would make contextually more sense to
have the utility NoDisplay=true (have it not show up in the actual
menu) but a button to launch it in the File Search KCM. At least I
would not look for this in the application menu ;)
