I've been trying to figure out how to use Beagle.  I finally determined 
that even though there is a "beagle-gui" package installed, the binary 
for the gui apparently is "beagle-search".  It doesn't appear to be too 
resource intensive on my FC6 box but for being a package that is 
supposed to make it easy to find things, it sure was hard to find.  It 
doesn't seem to be in any of my Fedora menu's, that I can find anyway. 
  Do any of the file managers, or other programs on Fedora, have Beagle 
hooks, options, etc which can take advantage of what Beagle finds and 
indexes?

My Beagle, Max, is far more friendly and easier to find.  Follow the 
"woof" sound...
