Hello All

I'm trying Gnome Shell out on top of 12.04 testing just to see.


I installed Gnome Documents from the repositories, which brought Tracker with it.
I've set up the locations in Tracker along the lines in this page. http://www.webupd8.org/2011/10/install-gnome-documents-in-ubuntu-1110.html
Gnome Documents can see the documents in my ~/Documents folder, and sub-directories of that folder, but is not seeing anything outside that, including the thousands of documents in my ~/Dropbox folder.
Desktop Search (Needle) finds any file in my home drive fine.


Is this expected behaviour from Gnome Documents?

Is there a way to convince Gnome Documents that it should display files from other parts of my local drive?

Cheers
