Check the repository: Zeitgeist or libzeitgeist
Zeitgeist is a service which logs the user activities and events (files opened, websites visited, conversations held with other people, etc) and makes the relevant information available to other applications
Just make sure it's not installed. I used to use just plain Jane Debian just because of that program. Certain desktop environments automatically install it
