Public bug reported: The zeitgeist totem plugin is not enabled by default. The intent is for it to be enabled, see near the bottom of:
https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/+junk/ubuntu- settings/view/head:/debian/ubuntu-settings.gsettings-override - I think that's because the override should be org.gnome.totem instead of org.gnome.Totem - My understanding is that when totem starts, it loads all the plugin listed in gsettings' "enabled-plugins" and loads all plugins that have Builtin=true. It then writes the combined list to "enabled-plugins". - Every other plugin in the gsettings override is Builtin, so the only purpose for that line is to try to activate zeitgeist by default. But this method doesn't work for upgraders since the list of plugins is already "user-configured" by totem when it runs. - Builtin plugins are not show in Preferences>Plugins. They cannot be disabled by the user (without editing system files). I propose that we set the Zeitgeist plugin to Builtin=true. If someone wants to configure Zeitgeist, they should use System Settings>Security & Privacy in Unity or install and run activity-log-manager in other desktops. If people complain (or if this is a problem), we could split the Zeitgeist plugin to another package.
