Additional info:

when running a search as Urkle for a file in urkle's home directory. will
return no results for most queries.

Things work find on my RH6.2 system.  Though this bug has been annoying me
for a while. (on RH 6.x and 7.x systems)
Comment 1 Thomas Woerner 2004-10-15 18:45:58 UTC 
Please verify this with a newer version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux or
Fedora Core and reopen it against the new version if it still occurs.

Closing as "not a bug" for now.
