Perhaps he installed it to try it out, and then didn't like it? eg the amount of
system resource it consumes while indexing or something...

Just a thought. Anyway, I've got the same problem (totem in my case, not Google
Desktop) and I also can't get rid of it -- could someone post a link to some
doco that explains how Gnome tracks programs to start at login? I found a file
in my home directory that references totem and is different from other users on
my machine, but that file looks system-generated and before I go deleting stuff
from it I want to understand how it works...
