10.5: Disable Spotlight LaunchAgent, too
Authored by: aqsalter on Sat, Mar 1 2008 at 4:09PM PST

I used Lingon for this...
Instead of chmoding the file I just disabled the agent (com.apple.Spotlight, under System Agents).
Seems more reasonable and less error prone.
Note: this also has the effect of removing the icon, so actually disabling the agent is all you need to do.
