the keybinding capplet has a Search action, which when bound to a key brings up gnoem-search-tool. beagle-search has its own private sucky way to define a hotkey. I think we should a) make gnome-settings-daemon launch beagle-search if available and fall back to gnome-search-tool (we already do that for gnome-screensaver) b) patch out the sucky hotkey setting from the beagle-search prefs
a) is done in control-center-2.15.91-3.fc6
b) is done in beagle-gui-0.2.7-9.fc6
Additionally, gnome-panel-2.15.91.2.fc6 uses beagle for the search buttons you can add to the panel.
